Arts Madness

don’t miss the State Theatre’s 10-10-10-10 promotion

In basketball, you’d call the State Theatre’s upcoming performance a quadruple double, a rare thing indeed. So it’s equally suiting that ECRAC is calling it “March Madness.” On March 10, from 10am to 10pm, all remaining shows in the theater’s schedule are just $10. That’s a lot of tens. The 12-hour event will require you to look ahead on ECRAC’s calendar for the six remaining shows. Four Bitchin’ Babes, a blend of estrogen-fueled comedy and harmony, comes up right away on March 11; the Grammy-winning voice of Linda Davis arrives on March 19; March 26 brings action-packed radio drama The Intergalactic Nemesis; Patrick Combs’ stand-up comedy act Man 1, Bank 0 hits the stage April 14; the following evening is the Juilliard-trained Ahn Trio; and the classic comedy stylings of Second City Touring Company polishes the season off May 7. The promotion is undoubtedly a steal, as you’re looking at more than 50 percent off in some cases. “The promotion is a way for us to give back to the community,” said Ben Richgruber, ECRAC’s executive director. “We want to allow people who might be having a hard time affording tickets the opportunity to see some quality entertainment. State Theatre 1, Lousy Economy 0.”
