The audiences have spoken. This year's Patrons' Picks -- the most popular shows at each regular venue, based on ticket sales for the first four performances of the festival -- have been chosen.
Each of the chosen companies gets an extra Sunday-night performance, and a chance to bring in more box-office revenue.
Here's the list :
St. Vladimir's Theatre - Jem Rolls - 8:30 pm
Robert Gill Theatre - Cactus - 8 pm
Artword Theatre - The Divine Heretic - 8:30 pm
Factory Mainspace - The Blood Of A Coward - 8:30 pm
Factory Studio - GBS - 8 pm
Tarragon Mainspace - Sleepless: A New Musical - 8:30 pm
Tarragon Extra Space - Stealing Freedom - 9 pm
Royal St. George Theatre - Chandeleirva - 8:30 pm
Poor Alex - Dickwhipped: The Kristeen And Laurie Story - 8 pm
Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse - One Man Lord of The Rings - 8:30 pm
Advance tickets -- 75% of the house -- are now on sale for these shows, through the usual channels. The remaining tickets are on sale at the venues an hour before show time.
