I have an A.C.T. (American Conservatory Theatre) subscription which allows me to see the seven plays A.C.T. puts on each year. Today's play is "The Rivals". Perhaps I'll give a report on it upon my return.

I've been a subscriber for two or three years, and I'm debating if I should renew for 2006-2007. The tickets aren't cheap, especially weekend series I have. However, it's a good excuse to get into the city on a scheduled basis, and to see performances I might not pay to see individually.

The other question is, can I find another theatre subscription series I'd enjoy, and which is either less expensive or improved in some way? Maybe I'll do some research on that.
