All proceeds from the Gi60: Live U.S. Edition go to a scholarship fund to support theater students at Brooklyn College. Every playwright who would like to attend will be offered one comp ticket, and we regret that we cannot offer multiple comps because of our fundraising efforts to help students. Tickets are $10.00, seating is general admission, and each performance will be filmed, edited, then uploaded to the Gi60 Channel on YouTube by early September. Congratulations, thank you for the wonderful plays you've shared with our terrific company of actors and directors, and we hope to see you at the event (reservations are STRONGLY recommended!).
