Description

ABUELITA by Nathan Yungerberg

Three Nuyorican women are melting on their stoop in Spanish Harlem when Davia Johnson, a white grandmother from Iowa, shows up with her mixed-race grandson, Jesús, in tow after the death of his mother. They have come to NYC so that Jesús can experience the culture of his unknown Nuyorican father. They are embraced by a vibrant community: the three wise and warm Latina women over 50, a sharp-tongued young girl, and a charismatic gay man. Generational and cultural differences spark humorous conversation, striking revelations, and sexual transformations.

Friday, March 13 through Sunday, March 29

PAY AS YOU ARE TICKETS

Our PAY AS YOU ARE pricing system asks our ticket buyers, “How are you able to support PRIME Productions right now?” when buying their tickets. Instead of dictating prices based on where your seats are located or how in demand a show might be, we allow audiences to choose how much they pay based on their financial ability. Ex: If you’re routinely able to pay $55 a ticket, it is the actual fair market value of the ticket and would pay that price elsewhere around town, we ask you pay that price here.  By selecting to pay more than market price, you help to cover the cost of someone else’s ticket and allow us to welcome more audiences to PRIME’s productions.

The theater is a place to escape, to expand, and to come together-- and we never want the price of a ticket to bar our community members from engaging in these valuable experiences.

PAY AS YOU ARE tickets are available for $15, $25, $35, $45, $55 (Market Value), $65, $75.
