ANN to Offer $20 Tickets to Theatergoers Ages 14-18

School may be out for the summer, but ANN is still in session! As Governor of Texas, Ann Richards was a champion for students and young adults everywhere and now theatergoers ages 14-18 can see any performance of ANN for just $20. Directed by Benjamin Endsley Klein and starring Emmy Award winner, 2013 Outer Critics Circle Award winner, and 2013 Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, and Drama League Award nominee Holland Taylor, ANN will offer specially-priced $20 loge tickets for patrons ages 14-18 available only at the Vivian Beaumont Theater Box Office (150 W 65th St.). ANN will play its final performance on Sunday, June 30th.

"We have been cooking this up at ANN for weeks, and now I can announce it. Something in the spirit of Ann, herself, that she would love," said Holland Taylor. "Parents can come to the box office to buy their own tickets and bring their kids who can buy their own tickets. Groups of kids can come. Kids can come all by their lonesome. This is an unrestricted gift to the generation Ann cared about the most."

The specially-priced $20 tickets will be available for every performance and must be purchased in person at the Vivian Beaumont Theater box office by patrons ages 14-18. Tickets will be available for purchase beginning when the box office opens at 10am Monday through Saturday and at 12pm on Sunday. These student tickets may also be purchased in advance for any future performance through Sunday, June 30th. No I.D. is required.

ANN is an intimate, no-holds-barred portrait of Ann Richards, the legendary Governor of Texas. This inspiring and hilarious new play brings us face to face with a complex, colorful and captivating character bigger than the state from which she hailed. Written and performed by Emmy Award winner Holland Taylor ("Two and a Half Men"), ANN takes a revealing look at the impassioned woman who enriched the lives of her followers, friends and family.
