PPAC Offering $23 Front Row Seats for RENT 20th Anniversary Tour

By:

The Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) today announced that seats in the first two rows of the orchestra section will be available for $23 for each performance of RENT, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical.

RENT plays at the Providence Performing Arts Center, April 7 - 9. Performance times are Friday, April 7 at 7:30P; Saturday, April 8 at 2P & 8P; and Sunday, April 9 at 1P & 6:30P.

The $23 ticket price is inclusive of PPAC's $3 per ticket restoration charge. The $23 tickets are available for in-person purchases at the PPAC Box Office, located at 220 Weybosset Street in downtown Providence, on the day of each performance only, two hours prior to the show. The $23 tickets are available for cash only purchases and are limited to two tickets per person on a first-come; first-served basis.

The tradition of the rush tickets began in 1996 in New York when the show moved to Broadway after a sold-out run in a small downtown theatre. The producers of the show are committed to continuing the tradition of offering prime orchestra seats for rush pricing in each city the show will play.

Regular ticket prices are $93 - $36 and are available at the PPAC Box Office (220 Weybosset Street in downtown Providence), online at www.ppacri.org or by calling (401) 421-ARTS (2787). All ticket prices include a $3 per ticket restoration charge and are subject to change without notice. Group orders of 15 or more may be placed by calling (401) 574-3162. Box Office Hours are Monday through Friday, 10A to 5P; Saturday, 10A to 2P and two hours prior to curtain times on performance days.
