"AFTERGLOW owes its success to the wonderful community that has supported us throughout our incredible 14-month run. In honor of that support, which allowed us to extend well past our initial eight-weeks, we wanted to make the play as accessible as possible. Effective immediately, we will be offering 10 "Pay What You Wish" tickets to each performance. As we enter our final weeks in New York City, we want to ensure that everyone who wants to experience the show can have that opportunity." Playwright/Director, S. Asher Gelman
