Artistic director Nicholas Martin hopes the low price will encourage a wider spectrum of folks to attend, adding “we hope people who see this production will be interested in reading and seeing more of Wilson’s works, to understand the mammoth contribution he made to African-American history and modern theatre.’’ Nuts and bolts: Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. at the Huntington’s Boston University box office at 264 Huntington Ave. Sales by phone (617-266-0800), on-line (huntingtontheatre.org) and in person (Calderwood Pavilion box office, 527 Tremont St.) begin at noon. All sales except on-line sales end at 6 p.m.; on-line it’s until midnight. |
