Canadian Stage Company Launches C-Stage Ticket Discount Initiative

The Canadian Stage Company is pleased to announce C-Stage, an initiative designed to provide individuals under 30 years of age an affordable way to experience plays in the Company's 2009 - 2010 Season. C-Stagers also have access to other special offers and exclusive events. For more information, go to c-stage.ca.

C-Stage offers tickets for Canadian Stage Company productions at the Bluma Appel Theatre for a flat rate of $12.50 - the same cost as a movie. There are no additional taxes or service charges and no membership fees. Tickets are subject to availability and may be purchased in advance or just prior to the performance. They can be purchased online at c-stage.ca, by phone 416-368-3110 or in person at our Customer Service Centres: Berkeley Street Theatre, 26 Berkeley Street, Toronto; or Bluma Appel Theatre, 27 Front St. E., Toronto. Cash, debit card or credit card payments are accepted. Valid ID is required at time of ticket pick-up.

C-Stage also offers access to "insider information" including other special offers and exclusive events, including parties, meet-the-cast opportunities, workshops and backstage tours.

The initiative is a new and improved version of the cheapTHRILLS Youth Access Pass launched in 2008. The revamped program has raised the maximum age limit from 24 to 29 years and waived the $15 membership fee. Access has also been improved. Tickets were limited to one per person and were not available online. Now, tickets are available in person, by phone or online and may be purchased for friends or family provided valid ID is presented by all parties upon pick-up.

The Canadian Stage Company kicks off C-Stage with an all-out party, Rock Beets at King East, featuring live music by Hayley Stark and DJ LeKit from I'd Rather Dance Collective at Berkeley Street Theatre, 26 Berkeley Street (King & Parliament). Meet other C-Stagers, learn about the program and register to win an iPhone. No cover. Cash Bar. Doors open at 9 p.m.
