JOY - "pay what you can" Sept. 11th

Feel the Joy Downtown...
Commemorate this Sunday, September 11th with "JOY" at The Actor's Playhouse.

Both the 3pm and 7pm performances will be special "pay what
you can" performances, with 50% of all proceeds benefiting the victims of September 11th and Hurricane Katrina.

Come see why JOY was a Village Voice "pick" this week and help support these important causes on this important day - for whatever you can afford. Tickets available at the Box Office.

No offense, but I think it's kind of gross to use a national tragedy to market a play, even if you give away the money.

If you want to pick on the JOY producers, let's talk about their shameless plugging of the Dell Dude!

I don't know what everyone is getting so defensive about - I'm not saying the producers are bad people. I'm just stating my opinion that it's gross to capitalize on a national tragedy as a means to market a show. Maybe gross behavior is just part of producing, I don't know...

I'd actually like to see this before it closes, Michael Busillo is always a fun and talented performer to watch. And I agree with Mr. Cassara, if the promotion benefits a needed cause and opens the doors to a wider audience, it can't be a bad thing.
