Editor's Note: This is the second part in a multi-part series on saving money at the theater.

Read on for more ways to save on and off-Broadway! Part One is here.
Ushering-If you don’t mind donning black and white, then you may consider ushering to see shows for free. Here is a list of off-Broadway theaters that often use ushers (if a theater you want to usher at isn’t on the list, just go to the box office and ask!):

Summer Savings-Summertime is a great time to save on plays, I know Summer 2010 is drawing to a close, but keep these in mind for the end of the summer and next year!:

Shakespeare in the Park (CP), as long as you’re willing to wait in line or want to try your luck with the virtual lottery, then the celeb stars of these products are worth the effort for tkts. http://www.publictheater.org/

NY Classical Theater, If you don’t mind a little exercise, follow the actors in this company around city parks to catch up on all those plays you didn’t read in high school! http://www.newyorkclassical.org

Shakespeare in the Parking Lot, this is safe enough since I presume the cars have all been moved out! http://www.shakespeareintheparkinglot.org/
