Thread by @kenya

It started because I was trying to find all the theatres participating in the August Wilson Festival but I found a bit more than that.

This thread is for folks looking to see Black plays in the DC area during the 2019-2020 season. There are some in Baltimore too.

Some of the theatres have Pay What You Can days or discounts for folks under 30 or 35. Many put tickets on Goldstar, TodayTix and Groupon. Sometimes there are discounts on theatremania.com. (I try hard not to pay full price.)
