With today’s side deal, $29 gets you a four-show flex pass to Stageworks Theatre (a $79 value). The flex pass uses a punch-card format to allow any combination of people to see any combination of shows in the 2010–11 season—for example, one person can attend all four shows, or four people can attend one show.
In the darkened arena of the local, nonprofit theater, audience members communicate with the drama on stage as though the actors’ lit faces were more real than the insistent nudging from a neighbor vying for armrest dominance. This season includes such offerings as: The God of Isaac (December 2–19), which portrays a young man’s quest to discover his spiritual identity; The MOMologues (February 17–26), a comedic exploration of the job of motherhood using irreverent wit; and A Lesson Before Dying (April), which engages an innocent black man’s search for honor and dignity before he is put to death for a crime he did not commit. The final play in July has yet to be announced.
