Innovative, provocative, entertaining and affordable? The Wilma Theater presents Student Saturdays and Under 30 discount programs For Immediate Release: September
21, 1999 Philadelphia, PA - September 21 - Where can you find the best theater in town for only $6 - $10? At The Wilma Theater, located in the heart of Center City on the Avenue of the Arts. Students are invited to join us every Saturday for our 2pm matinee for the low price of only $7. Groups of 10 or more can attend for only $6 per ticket. If you're under 30, you can purchase tickets to any Wilma show (except Saturday evening performances) for only $10. Following select Student Saturday matinee performances, the Wilma hosts interactive post-show discussions featuring members of the cast. At this time, audience members have the opportunity to get to know the actors a little better and get all those usually unanswered questions answered. The theater also offers tours of the Wilma's state of the art theater on the Avenue of the Arts - call Char Vandermeer, Education Director, at 215.893.9456 x101. Naomi Grabel, Managing Director of the Wilma, feels that "education and reaching young theater audiences is an integral part of the Wilma mission." THE 3 MUSKETEERS is the first offering of Wilma's 1999 - 2000 Season which will include Mark Saltzman's musical play THE TIN PAN ALLEY RAG, the East Coast premiere of Tom Stoppard's THE INVENTION OF LOVE, and David Gow's CHERRY DOCS.
