Over 40 Shows Set for Off Broadway Alliance's 20at20 Celebration, Kicking Off Today

The Off Broadway Alliance has announced that it will again sponsor 20at20, the bi-annual celebration of Off Broadway. The popular promotion, which begins January 20th and continues through February 8th, makes $20 tickets available for 41 Off Broadway plays and musicals twenty minutes prior to curtain. Now in its 9th year, 20at20 has become one of New York's most eagerly-anticipated promotions for people who want to see exciting shows at amazing prices. For more information, visit www.20at20.com.

Peter Breger, President of the non-profit Off Broadway Alliance said: "There are so many amazing things to see Off Broadway right now: Tonya Pinkins and Diane Wiest are starring in Cynthia Nixon's directorial debut, Rasheeda Speaking, a contemporary dark comedy/thriller at the New Group. Lillias White is thrilling her fans in Texas in Paris at the York, and Christine Bianco, whose hilarious takes on pop divas have made her a YouTube sensation, is live on stage in Application Pending, an outrageous comedy about the battle for kindergarten admissions at the West Side Theatre. That's just a sample of the wonderful shows that are available for $20 per ticket for the next 20 days."

Just show up twenty minutes before curtain to purchase $20 tickets at the box office for participating productions. Here's your chance to catch up with shows you may have missed, get a sneak peek at the newest hits, or revisit a favorite show -- all for just 20 bucks.

Since Off-Broadway has every kind and style of show imaginable, you can see shows of every genre: long-running hit musicals like Avenue Q and The Fantasticks, amazing and unique events like Fuerza Bruta and STOMP to diverse new works like Nevermore - The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe or Pan Asian Repertory Theater's 1940's spy vs. spy thriller, Film Chinois. There's a wide variety of family-friendly shows too, including The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Gazillion Bubble Show.

With 20at20, you can see six or seven shows for about the average price of one Broadway ticket.

All 20at20 ticket sales are cash only. For a complete list of participating shows and venues see below or visit www.20at20.com.

20at20 is presented by The Off Broadway Alliance (OBA), a non-profit corporation organized by theater professionals dedicated to supporting, promoting and encouraging the production of Off Broadway theater and to making live theater increasingly accessible to new and diverse audiences.

And the OBA created the Off Broadway Economic Impact Report, which details Off Broadway's over $500 million annual impact on the economy of the City of New York."
