Some of you know I used to work at Studio Theatre part-time back in the day when I didn't think that a full-time job and school was complete enough so I picked up a second job. It was there that I found out about the lovely practice among the DC theatre community to host 'pay what you can' (PWYC) performances. This is a way to let anyone in the community be able to attend the theatre and it means what it sounds like - whether you can only afford to pay a penny or $100, if you get in line early enough you'll get a chance to see the show.
Most theatres in the DC area have a PWYC matinee performance the first Saturday of the week of a show opening. So, Studio Theatre is having one this Saturday for its show, Venus in Fur, which opens tomorrow. I read the book in anticipation of this show and am curious to see how they turn the very naughty content (the author of the book is the namesake of sadomasochism) into a play. Here's a teaser...
The Studio Theatre is located at 1501 14th St. NW, Washington, DC 20005
