Gamm
Theater Gift Card good for 2 Tickets
for the 2009-2010 Season ~ Current Value
$50
The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) believes that
live theater can be an enriching, liberating experience that can expose the
public to both perennial and present issues of a fundamental sort, engaging
them in direct, experiential ways and making these issues personal and
immediate, rather than abstract. Good live drama can involve the audience both
intellectually and viscerally. It can be, in the best sense of the word,
entertaining. Accordingly, the best way in which the theater can fulfill its
central mission is to select its plays with care and to produce them well.
