Pay What You Can Tuesdays Series: On Tuesday, January 3, 2012, audience members are invited to attend a production of "Lobby Hero" and pay whatever they feel comfortable paying for their ticket. These special tickets are available on day of performance only.

Kenneth Lonergan, author of the acclaimed plays, "This Is Our Youth," and "The Waverly Gallery," and the Oscar-nominated film, "You Can Count on Me," has been called "the new golden boy of stage and screen" by The New York Times. His 2001 play, "Lobby Hero," was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Play, and tells the story of Jeff, a young security guard for a Manhattan apartment building who is attempting to put his life back together after being thrown out of the military. He ends up becoming involved with a murder investigation involving his supervisor and a rookie policewoman who is in over her head with her corrupt cop partner. The New York Times calls it “The best new American drama of the first decade of this century.”
