This is a really good play with a great cast. They have two Pay What You Can Performances - Sept 9 evening and Sept 12 matinee - but it looks like boith have sold out. One other discount they have is Two for Tuesday. Here is the link to buy the tickets. I will continue to monitor if anything becomes available,

Set in 1920s Chicago and pulsing with rousing blues music, wry comedy, and poetic insight, August Wilson’s acclaimed play follows trailblazing singer Ma Rainey and her band during a fraught recording session. As conflicts flare over art, power, and control, the struggle between the musicians and studio executives grows to a shattering finale. Don’t miss this explosive and thrilling “genuine American masterpiece” (Chicago Reader) that takes a searing look at the racial exploitation at the heart of the music industry and celebrates the cathartic power of the blues.
