If you can regularly be seen in your school’s drama department then chances are you’ve most likely seen a poster that says, “That $10 Ticket Thing”. Now I don’t know about you, but when an event is being advertised as $10 I like to look a little closer at the poster, and if you do, you will find it is for Alberta Theatre Projects. That $10 allows any student with a valid Student ID card the opportunity to attend live theatre performances. However, this deal does not work every day, so here are the shows and days that you can see live theatre for only $10!!! (I still can’t wrap my head around this $10 thing)
December 10, 2009: Toad of Toad Hall
February 4, 2010: Abraham Lincoln Goes to the Theatre
February 18, 2010: Tyland
February 23, 2010: The Highest Step in the World
March 3, 2010: How Do I Love Thee?
March 23, 2010: Billy Twinkle, Requiem for a Golden Boy
May 4, 2010: Communion
