3) There is a #3, but we can’t release it to the media.
-only a cast/crew member of Genesius can reveal the 3rd way to save money on a Genesius ticket.

Genesius, the story behind the founding of Reading’s Genesius Theatre, is the closing show of Civic Theatre of Allentown’s 2008-2009 stage season; it explores the themes of reaching out, mentoring and giving back to those whose lives we touch daily. Civic Managing Director Arlene Daily cites this as one of the reasons that Civic is implementing a Pay What You Can night for the first time: “We want people who have been hit hard by the economy to still enjoy a night at Civic. This is an important and inspiring story that everyone deserves the chance to see.”

Daily also hopes that those who can pay more on that night will do so: “Civic has also been hit hard by the economy, and we’re in need of the community’s support more than ever before. We’re banding together with Second Harvest for this night because non-profits need to do what they can to help each other out these days.”
