Due to overwhelming demand, the producers of Mark St. Germain's runaway hit play FREUD'S LAST SESSION today put a new block of tickets on sale through October 30th. FREUD'S LAST SESSION is celebrating its one-year anniversary this Friday, July 22nd, making it the longest-running play from last season on or Off-Broadway.
