Starting today, the Off-Broadway comedy Room Service will serve up a free meal for tickets purchased for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings & Wednesday matinees as part of their winter ticket campaign for performances  thru March 25th at the SoHo Playhouse.

As a joint promotion with the popular Mr. Dennehy's restaurant (www.mrdennehys.com), ticket buyers who purchase their tickets online, or at the box office and mention the code" MRD" can get a free dinner or lunch at the restaurant which is in walking distance to the theater (63 Carmine Street).  Meal packages include a choice of 3 entrees, coffee/tea/soft drink and a slice of freshly baked Chocolate Cake! (Tax and gratuity included!! There is a limited # of reservations available—and combo cut off times for purchases are: 24 hrs for Lunch, 48 hrs for dinner.)

Presented by the Soho Playhouse & the award-winning Peccadillo Theater Company along with Jonathan Reinis Productions, Jeffrey Sine and The StoryLine Project, Room Service features a cast of twelve in what many consider the funniest American play of the 1930's. Dan Wackerman directs.

"A classic screw-ball comedy, Room Service centers around the efforts of an unscrupulous producer to find a backer for his new show. Holed up in a Times Square hotel with nineteen hungry actors and a ballooning room service bill, he tries to forestall eviction by convincing the show's gullible young playwright to fake his own death. Meanwhile, an emissary from one of the country's wealthiest businessmen turns up with money to invest in the show; that is, until he discovers the hotel doctor bound and gagged in the bathroom. The situation goes from bad to worse as the much-abused hotel manager threatens to have the entire show confiscated by the sheriff on opening night," according to press notes.

The Soho Playhouse is located at 15 Vandam Street ~ between 6th Avenue and Varick. Room Service will play the following schedule thru March 25th: Wednesdays through Fridays at 8PM ; Saturdays at 3 & 8PM; Sundays at 3 & 7PM; Mondays at 8PM. Beginning February 7th, the production will be adding a Wednesday Matinee at 3pm and dropping Sunday evening performances. All tickets are $65 with a limited number of "Cheap Seats" at $29.99.  Groups of 10 or more receive up to 40% off!
