$49 for Bus from NYC and Ticket to SAM BROWN for ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY!

Update #21 · Aug 19, 2011 · comment
EXTRA! EXTRA! 

Read all about it. Goodspeed Offers One-Time-Only Bus Road Trip to 
The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown 
from NYC on Wednesday, Aug 24!

Dear Sam Brown Enthusiasts - 
 

We know how hard it is for people (especially under 25) to get to Chester, CT and we've been begging Goodspeed since we got here to help us make it easier for our fans. Well, our ship (or should we say BUS) has come in! 

For ONE PERFORMANCE only, Goodspeed will send a bus to NYC and drive you straight to the threshold of the Norma Terris Theatre. The singing of FREEDOM is optional but encouraged. The cost is just $49 for your ticket AND transportation. We don't think we have to tell you what a great deal this is. General admission for SAM BROWN is $45 and getting here is near impossible without a car, as I'm sure many of you have already discovered.  
 
In order to make your reservation, you have to call the Goodspeed Box Office. That's right, folks. Your texting device can also be used to talk with live people thanks to Thomas Edison. Stop reading this RIGHT NOW and call them on your phone: 860-873-8668. 
 
There are two very minor catches: 
 
CATCH 1: YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATION IMMEDIATELY. This offer is available between now and Sunday. After that, the offer completely and totally expires. 
 
CATCH 2: We need to get at least 35 people to reserve or we can't do it at all. (Piece of cake, right??)

Guys - here's the deal. Things are going really well here. The show is better than it's ever been. Last night's performance blew the two of us away. Our producers are psyched and we have some really important people who will be in the audience on Wednesday. This matters. This could actually have an impact on the future of this show. Everyone here thinks getting 35 people on board for this offer will be hard. But we know you guys better than that - we think 35 people is nothing. 100 people can fit in 2 busses. Let's show 'em that Kerrigan-Lowdermilk fans mean business. TWO BUSES TO CHESTER!! LET'S GO! 
 
Love, 
K&B

p.s. You can still buy tix the usual way with the SAMFAN code by calling the Box Office. Show runs through next weekend!
