Arts For All

I was on facebook and an ad for the Northwest Children's Theater was in the feed.  The play "Elephant and Piggie's We are in a Play" is coming.  Every time I see it I think about it.  The little man's kindergarten teacher used to read these books to the class and he really liked them.
Well next weekend is the premiere and sometimes there are specials for the first weekend.  So I went to the website to check.  No specials.  And I really didn't expect there to be.  Usually I get an email when there is.  But they have Arts For All.  Arts For All are cheap tickets you can buy if you have a food or cash benefit card from the state of Oregon.  There are some limits.  You can't purchase more than four tickets.  They are only good for the side sections and you can't purchase prior to two weeks before the season starts.  And you can't buy tickets to the final show. 
We don't live in Oregon.  But I figured it was worth a call.  So call I did.  I asked if they accepted the Washington card and after about a minute the man who answered said lets say yes. I guess no one had asked and the program has really kind of gone by the way.  But NWCT are still honoring it because they want to.  So I bought tickets for us to see the play.  And I am happy happy.
And the little man is already counting down to play day.  And now that I know...we may go to a lot more plays there.  "Mary Poppins" is coming up next.  :)
