August 18, 2006 (ITHACA, NY)- Anyone can see live, professional theatre for less than the price of a movie ticket, thanks to the Hangar Theatre’s PAY WHAT YOU CAN (PWYC) program. On Sunday, August 27th at 7:30pm, a set of seats have been reserved for “Pay What You Can” patrons to see the classic musical farce, Hello, Dolly! ANY AMOUNT will be accepted as payment for these tickets. The Hangar is proud to offer PWYC performances, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience live theatre regardless of financial resources. The Pay What You Can program is made possible by the theatre’s PWYC partners, GreenStar Cooperative Market and Community Federal Credit Union.

PWYC tickets go on sale the day of the performance at 6:30pm, one hour prior to curtain time, at the Hangar Theatre, which is located on Route 89 in Cass Park near the Treman Marina entrance. Advanced reservations for PWYC tickets are not taken, one ticket will be sold per person, and adjacent seating is not guaranteed. Sales are cash only and tickets are sold on a first come first serve basis (seating is not guaranteed, so arrive early). Regular priced tickets for the Sunday show range from $14-$31. Purchasing regular priced tickets will ensure adjacent seating, availability, and location.
