Playwrights Horizons Launches 'LIVEforFIVE' Ticket Lottery

Beginning yesterday morning, Playwrights Horizons has opened its "LIVEforFIVE" online ticket lottery, offering the chance to purchase $5 tickets to the New York premiere of The Savannah Disputation. At least 50 tickets will be available through the online lottery.

LIVEforFIVE makes $5 tickets available for the first preview performance of each Playwrights Horizons production through a lottery via the company's website at www.playwrightshorizons.org. The theatre company created the promotion last season as part of its Arts Access program.

The LIVEforFIVE lottery for The Savannah Disputation will be for tickets for the first preview performance on Feb. 6 at 8 p.m. at Playwrights Horizons Mainstage Theater, 416 W. 42nd St., NYC. Entries will be accepted until Feb. 2 at noon. Winners will be notified with instructions on how to book their $5 tickets.

The Savannah Disputation, written by Evan Smith and directed by Walter Bobbie, opens March 3 and runs through March 15.
