The Penny Seats theatre company

The Penny Seats is a small, professional theater company based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, specializing in summer outdoor theater, performed in rotating repertory sequence. The company is 5 years old. It staged its first summer season in August, 2011. Accessibility to quality live performance is key to the company's plan. Thus, a ticket to a Penny Seats live performance costs the same as a movie ticket. Also, the group funds every season in advance, solely through donations and grants. Because our ticket prices do not factor into our budgeting, we can keep them very low. This season, the group will to perform two shows at the West Park Band Shell in downtown Ann Arbor, every weekend from July 9 through August 15. During the rest of the year, the group conducts several other theatre-focused activities, including fully-staged shows done dinner-theatre style in partnership with restaurants around downtown Ann Arbor. Visit the company's website, www.pennyseats.org, for more information. And here's some recent publicity about the group: http://pennyseats.org/press/2014-2/ The Penny Seats are presently seeking funds that will make their fifth season a reality. Donations can be made on their website. The Penny Seats are a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization.
