The Benefit of Live Theatre
January 4th, 2010
There’s a directive in Judaism to “repair the world”, Tikkun Olam. I try to fulfill this task through my writing, a theater in New York is doing it through their box office sales.
As reported in Crain’s this morning, and on their own website, the Jewish Theater of New York has opened their doors to those who need theater most in these challenging economic times. Anyone on foodstamps or Medicaid with a Benefit card can simply show his/her card at the door and pay only $5 dollars, instead of the normal $50, per ticket.
What an inspiring and amazing way to not only reach out, but to offer a helping hand!
