The May AltarCard is available for purchase now at the New World Stages Box Office. "The card has been tried out on an experimental basis, offered to the Altarholics only, to great success.  It will now be available to anyone," press materials state.

Producer Ken Davenport explains, "Altar Boyz is blessed to have a devoted following of theatergoers coming back to see the show several times a week and we wanted to make it easier and more affordable for them.  With the AltarCard, we're giving fans of the theater an affordable option to seeing great LIVE entertainment as often as they want."

Altar Boyz is currently enjoying its European Premiere at the Thalia Theatre in Budapest, Hungary since March 23rd.
