NYC’s Off Broadway Alliance (OBA) – a non-profit corporation of theater professionals dedicated to supporting, promoting, and encouraging Off-Broadway theater and making live theater more accessible to new and diverse audiences – announced that a record-breaking 43 shows will participate in the Fall 2025 edition of 20at20, the twice-a-year celebration of Off-Broadway offering $20 tickets to participating plays and musicals when purchased at the box office 20 minutes prior to curtain time. The discount program returns on Monday, October 20, and continues through Sunday, November 9. During that period, theatergoers can see seven or eight shows for less than the price of one Broadway ticket, giving audiences the chance to explore what’s happening Off-Broadway, where exciting, innovative theater begins.
For nearly 20 years, 20at20 has been one of New York’s most eagerly anticipated promotions for budget-conscious theatergoers that highlights the diverse range of productions presented across the city’s smaller venues. Among its other initiatives, OBA also created the Off Broadway Economic Impact Report, which documents Off-Broadway’s $500 million annual contribution to New York City’s economy, so with 20at20, you can save money and also support NYC.
“Fall is here and 20at20 is back with more than 40 magical experiences of live theatre – the kind that Off Broadway is famous for,” said Peter Breger, President of the Off Broadway Alliance. “These are innovative, intimate, nervy, playful shows that always take you by surprise and show you a good time. And with 20at20, there’s something for everyone. Why not see one show – or two or three – when you can pick up a ticket for just 20 bucks?”
