Producing Artistic Director Rick Lombardo commented, “It's vitally important that we keep the theater experience affordable for everyone – especially younger people and those on a limited budget. Theatre has always been a very democratic art form, and we hope that this initiative will allow our work to be seen by a wider audience.”
