Additional member benefits will include the opportunity to buy tickets before the general public; access to a special member hotline; a 15% discount on additional tickets purchased (one per show per member, subject to availability); priority notification of special events; priority booking period for Public LAB, Under the Radar, New Work Now and other Public Theater programs; liberal exchange policy for tickets; invitations to special events; special discounts to neighborhood restaurants and partner organizations; and a $25 discount on summer supporter tickets for Shakespeare in the Park.

The Public Theater's 2010-2011 season will feature Elevator Repair Service's Gatz; In The Wake by Lisa Kron; The Tricycle Theatre Company's The Great Game: Afghanistan; Rinne Groff's Compulsion; Kushner's The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism With A Key To The Scriptures; and The Motherf**ker With The Hat by Stephen Adly Guirgis.

"We are so pleased to celebrate 55 years of amazing plays and musicals at The Public Theater with a new membership program that will make it easier for our audiences to see great works at affordable prices," said Public Theater Executive Director Andrew D. Hamingson.
