For Ars Nova's 20th anniversary season, the theatre company will introduce the What鈥檚 Ars Is Yours: Name Your Price ticket initiative in support of its mission to make theatre accessible. Audiences will be invited to "name their price" for tickets to every performance during the season, which includes two off-Broadway productions at Greenwich House.
"We鈥檙e celebrating our 20th Anniversary in a time of immense change,鈥� said Producing Executive Director Renee Blinkwolt. "We鈥檝e all gone through so much in the last few years, and for most of us the ins and outs of our daily lives, and our priorities, have radically transformed. I鈥檓 so excited to throw our doors wide open and meet our community where they are and as they are."
Founding Artistic Director Jason Eagan said, "More than any one artist or show over the past 20 years, I'm most proud of Ars Nova鈥檚 charge to innovation and unwavering commitment to unknown artists with potential. Our efforts along with the unending goodwill of alumni, audiences, and supporters, have created an essential vanguard for propelling early career talent on both sides of the stage into professional lives in the arts."
