In a post a couple of weeks ago, I noted that my contacts @ The Geffen Playhouse informed me that there would be discount tickets available for specific performances of Farragut North at the theatre in Westwood (CA).
Now that the performance dates have come and gone, and the buzz around town has rustled up a lot of interest for the award-winning play, theatre-goers have been curious as to whether there would be reduced-rate tickets available later in the run.
The answer is a resounding "yes".
Curiously, just yesterday afternoon, a woman by the name of "Yvonne" cruised by my blog on WordPress (
http://www.julian1st.wordpress.com), read about the discount tickets for the prior performances, and queried me as to whether there would be lower-priced seats in the near future.
Lo & behold!
Shortly after I posted a note to assure her I would do a follow-up on her behalf with my contact @ the Geffen, I logged in to Yahoo, and spied an e-mail communication smiling back at me in the "in" box.
Imagine that!
The staff at the popular Westside Theatre must be "psychic" - because their communication was brimming with good news about additional discount-rated tickets - for the upcoming 4th of July weekend!

Farragut North opened June 16th & runs thru July 26th at the Theatre in Westwood.
Although the play contains mature themes and salty language, the well-written drama was awarded a grant by the prestigious Edgerton Foundation (New American Plays in 2007).
Farragut North first opened at the Atlantic Theatre company in the fall of 2008 to rave reviews and is set against the backdrop of a political race.
Stephen (Chris Pine of Star Trek Fame) inhabits the role of a press secretary who works in the employ of an ambitious up-and-coming candidate.
His heart set on the seat of power, the novice boldly goes forward in pursuit of his political goals, sure that he and his seasoned campaign manager, Paul (Sex and the City's Chris Noth) can steer their campaign into the West Wing successfully.
But, before the polls close at the primaries, Stephen's dreams are shattered when he falls victim to backroom politics and the machinations of veteran operatives and the likes of a seductive intern (Olivia Thirby; Juno).
According to press releases, Farragut is a timely cautionary tale about hubris, loyalty, and the lust for power.
Sit up and take notice, Barack!
