Weston Announces Special Discount Pricing

The Weston Playhouse Theatre Company today announced historic initiatives to make their popular plays and musicals affordable for all audiences. Single tickets go on sale today for a summer season that includes everything from Broadway musical favorites to exciting new works. "We're rolling out a terrific lineup of shows and also some great new ways for Vermonters to take in the fun," says Weston's Managing Director Stuart Duke. "Live theatre should be for everyone. Our popular V-Tix program, started several years ago, is being expanded and improved this year to encourage more people to attend our performances."

The new V-Tix program promises a limited number of select seats to each MainStage performance priced at only $25.00. Similarly, some tickets to Weston's intimate OtherStages performance space at the Rod & Gun Club will be priced at just $15.00. "At these prices, we expect them to go quickly," says Duke. There are no restrictions on ordering, but the tickets must be ordered by phone at 802-824-5288.

In addition to the newly expanded V-Tix program, Weston has also announced that all of it's MainStage preview performances (typically the Thursday before the Friday opening of each new production at The Playhouse) will be priced at a flat $35.00. OtherStages previews will be priced at just $20.00.

Weston's 2013 MainStage season includes the British comedy, Educating Rita (June 25 - July 6), the Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning rock musical, Next to Normal (July 11 - 27), the legendary Broadway musical 42nd Street (August 1 - 24) and, for the first time on the Weston stage, the beloved American masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird (August 29 - Sept. 11).

Two exciting new works will debut on Weston's OtherStages at the Weston Rod & Gun Club. Winner of Weston's New Musical Award, Loving Leo (July 18 - Aug. 4) is a touching musical portrait of what it means to be family. This Blessed Plot (Aug. 15 - Sept. 1) features Obie Award winner Marc Wolf in a smart, funny play about the battle for free Shakespeare in Central Park.
