Tickets to the first week of Dream Vacation
Calgary, AB – With a prolonged economic slowdown, swine flu fears, and the coming holiday season, Lunchbox Theatre is pleased to give Calgary’s downtown workers a break: for 12 hours Lunchbox will make tickets to the first week of Dream Vacation available for just $12.
In an online box office only sale from 10am to 10pm on Friday, November 20 all tickets to the first week (Monday, November 23 – Saturday, November 28) of the world premiere musical Dream Vacation will be available for $12 each. This represents a 33% discount on the regular ticket price.
“We had tremendous success with this promotion last season during our last musical, Come Fly With Me when we had about 150 patrons take us up on the offer,” says artistic director Pamela Halstead. “The holiday season can be a stressful time to begin with and with the added stressors of H1N1 and the state of the economy we wanted to offer a mini-Dream Vacation to people. The business community – and downtown office workers in particular – are our audiences, our family. The $12 for 12 hours promotion is just one way we can give back to the community.”
Lunchbox Theatre offers theatre-goers and downtown office workers the opportunity to take a much deserved trip to Mexico during the holiday season as part of the world premiere of Dream Vacation, a new musical by Jonathan Monro, which runs November 23 to December 23.
In Dream Vacation, three people from the same advertising agency win dream vacations to sunny Mexico and are more than a little surprised as to how their holidays unfold when they are forced to share the same hotel room. Trying circumstances result in hilarity as the trio endure and come to grips with their expectations.
The world’s longest running lunchtime theatre, Lunchbox Theatre is a professional company that caters to downtown office workers over the noon-hour by producing six plays per year as well as the Petro-Canada Stage One Festival and the BD&P Emerging Director Program. Lunchbox Theatre recently relocated to a new theatre at the base of the Calgary Tower.
