Gotta Get a Gimmick
Backstage: "Do desperate times call for desperate measures? If you're a theatre producer, apparently so. In December, the producers of Off-Broadway's Dust began offering a refund to theatregoers who didn't like the show. The long-running Off-Broadway hit Altar Boyz and New York's Primary Stages have had pay-what-you-can nights. And Soul of Shaolin, a Chinese martial-arts spectacular on Broadway, has joined forces with the national gym chain Crunch to offer classes inspired by the show and taught by a Shaolin kung fu master."

I would probably take a class from a show on martial arts. This is an interesting idea. Giving back the price of a ticket at the end might be a tad much. Its interesting to see how the theater world is adjusting to the economic crunch. They are, per form, being creative.
