Handcart Ensemble ~ Tickets

How to Get Tickets

In the past, we have used the tried and true Off-Off-Broadway method of phone reservations, but this time we’re trying something new, so don’t call us for tickets, call SmartTix at 212-868-4444 instead.

If you prefer the Internet over the telephone, try the SmartTix site. Click here and you will be sent to their Web site with Ordet pre-selected in the order form.

All tickets are general seating and cost $15 each, $12 for seniors and students. SmartTix is the only method of purchasing advance tickets, but we will accept cash at the door on a first-come first-served basis.

Handcart's Horizon

Watch here for details on productions planned for the coming year and seasons, which include a reading of Racine's Iphigenia in a glorious new translation by poet Rachel Hadas, a full production of Homer's Odyssey as adapted by poet Simon Armitage, and a startlingly orginal version of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood (for which a teaser will appear in our December benefit of A Child's Christmas in Wales: Stories and Poems by Dylan Thomas); all from a company described as "the city’s most reliable and interesting presenter of contemporary renditions of classic theatre texts (NYTheatre.com)."
