New York Theatre Workshop has announced plans for a new CheapTix program, which will make all single tickets to the first two performances of every NYTW production available to the general public for $25.

Tickets for sale through the CheapTix program will be available on a first-come, first-served basis online at NYTW.org or by phone from the NYTW Box Office, and standard ticketing fees apply. In addition, a $25 day-of rush ticket will be available for young people, seniors, artists and Lower East Side residents. Rush tickets are subject to availability and are sold cash-only at the box office, limit two per person. Proper identification is required for all rush tickets.

The CheapTix program will kick off with Sibyl Kempson's Fondly, Collette Richland (September 11-October 18 with an opening night on September 28), a new production from NYTW's company-in-residence Elevator Repair Service (Gatz). ERS Artistic Director John Collins will helm the project, which features Laurena Allan, Kate Benson, Lindsay Hockaday, Maggie Hoffman, Mike Iveson, Vin Knight, April Matthis, Greig Sargeant, Kaneza Schaal, Susie Sokol, Lucy Taylor, and Ben Jalosa Williams.

In Fondly, Collette Richland "Mr. and Mrs. Fitzhubert are summoned through a mysterious tiny door in their living room. On the other side, they find themselves in a phantasmagorical Alpen hotel where forgotten religions seep in through the cracks in the walls."
