Playwrights gets hip with Essential Self-Defence discounts

Playwrights Horizons is tossing it's hat into the competitor's ring for hippest Off-Broadway not-for-profit. In promotion for their new Adam Rapp play, Essential Self-Defense, they're throwing a kegger for theater dorks (sold out, sorry), and smartly embracing the blogosphere as a marketing tool by offering a special discount to MY readers (and Rocco's, and Jaime's, and... well it's an honor to be recognized at all). Discounts in decending order of age group, natch.

See Essential Self-Defense for $40 by clicking here and entering code EDBL. You can also use the code at the box office via phone or in person. Order by 3/28 for performances 3/15 through 4/15.

OR if you're young and spry like me, you can pick up a $20 ticket for whippersnappers under 30. One hour before curtain, bring ID.

OR if you're really young, you can get $15 student tix starting one hour before showtime.

Rapp's play Red Light Winter was one of the most beautiful, emotional, maddening theatrical experiences of recent memory. This one is about a man who takes a job as an attack dummy in a women's self-defense class, in a midwestern town named Bloggs, of all things! Playwrights Horizons describes it as "a grim fairy tale with generous helpings of rock n’ roll karaoke." Stay tuned for my review of Essential Self-Defense sometime next week.
