Free theater tix for the unemployed … to the most depressing musical in town

Thursday night the Kansas City Repertory Theatre is doing something for people who have lost their jobs. The Rep is giving away tickets to the 7 p.m. performance of Winesburg, Ohio to those who show proof of unemployment at the will-coll box office. Winesburg, Ohio is an award-winning musical based on Sherwood Anderson’s story of wanting to escape small-town Midwestern life for something bigger (read The Pitch‘s positive to mixed review). To guarantee a seat, call 816-235-2700.
