Low-cost tickets released for 'Rent'

The State Theatre, 453 Northampton St., Easton, announced that 30 seats in the pit orchestra section will be available for $20 for its performance of "Rent," the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical on Tuesday.

The tickets are available for in-person purchases at the box office on the day of the performance only, two hours before the show. Tickets are limited to two per person while supplies last. Fees apply.

The tradition of these tickets began in 1996 in New York when the show moved to Broadway after a sold-out run in a small downtown theater. The producers of the show are committed to continuing the tradition of offering these orchestra seats in each city the show will play.

"Rent" performs at the State Theatre at 7:30 p.m.

For ticket information, call the box office at 1-800-999-STATE Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. or visit statetheatre.org.
