We’re now four events into our 2014-2015 Passport to the Arts season. It’s too late to subscribe with us (we sold out at 200!), but that doesn’t mean you can’t use what we learn as research for your own arts season.
Following each show this season, we’ll tell you what Passport subscribers thought and share recommendations from Sky Blue Window to help you decide what tickets to pick up next.
Our fourth stop of the Passport season was the Phoenix Theatre‘s severely dark comedy The Cripple of Inishmaan. With only one weekend left on stage, you may be pressed to catch this show while it’s at the Phoenix. Still our Passport crowd gives it a mighty nice thumbs up, and we think you should try to make it if you can.
