Recession About Town: SPF This!


To all you folks out there who love theater but hate theater ticket prices, your savior is here. For the entire month of July the Summer Play Festival (SPF) has parked itself at The Public Theater. With two brand new plays a week (that's 8 plays for the month for those of you who are mathematically challenged) by up and coming playwrights, performed by awesome New York actors, and supported by a historic venue, you can't miss this experience -- which only cost $10.00 a ticket. That's right, I said TEN DOLLARS a ticket! This is quality theater at a hip venue, so you can be cool and get some culture all for TEN DOLLARS! I've attended this festival in the past and it is high quality, from the set design, to the directing, writing and acting. And, you won't get a better deal in New York -- unless you wait five hours in line for free tickets to Shakespeare in the Park. (And you should because it's totally worth it.)

Go to SPF for all the details, including directions to the Public Theater.
