Broadway in Your Own Backyard
You could pay $36 for a roundtrip ticket on Metro-North, $30 (if you’re lucky) for dinner in Manhattan, and $125- $175 for one ticket to a Broadway show... or you could catch a production of Broadway’s next big hit at the Powerhouse this summer for $35. Geometry of Fire, written by the Emmy-nominated writer Stephen Belber (Match) and

mainstage, running from June 27 through July 8. Romantic Poetry: A Musical Play, featuring Mark Linn Baker and
Anastasia Barzee, is directed by Patrick Shanley, who has joined
forces with Tony Award and Academy Award nominee composer Henry Krieger
(Dreamgirls). Running from July 19 through 29.
