Theater Tickets on a Budget

By ERIK PIEPENBURG

Starting on Sept. 4 the Off Broadway Alliance will sponsor 20at20, a biannual event now in its sixth year, in which $20 cash-only tickets are made available for more than 30 Off Broadway plays and musicals starting 20 minutes before curtain. According to the alliance, a nonprofit group that supports Off Broadway theater, budget-conscious theatergoers with stamina and an empty Saturday calendar could spend $100 - less than one Broadway ticket - to see five shows: “Gazillion Bubble Show,” at 11 a.m.; “Avenue Q,” at 2:30 p.m.; “Sistas: The Musical,” at 4:30 p.m.; “Silence! The Musical,” at 8 p.m.; and “Fuerzabruta,” at 10.

A list of participating shows and locations is at 20at20.com. The program ends on Sept. 23.
