A VIP-type experience is available prior to the Saturday night show, but tickets must be purchased by Friday for the additional meetandgreetthatwill include food and drinks, along with reserved seating for that performance only.
General admission tickets are also available for the Saturday show. “I have had a lot of people say they are coming,” director Lorna Ayers said. “Buying tickets online is new for us, but we think there will also be some available at the door.”
Anyone interested in purchasing tickets ahead of time can go directly to the group’s website (www.albanyplayhouse. com/shows) or follow the link on the Facebook page.

Patrons buying the $50 all-inclusive ticket for a “Pre-Sip” prior to the Saturdayperformancewill receive beverages, hors d’oeuvres, and premium seats. The Pre-Sip will start at 6:00 p.m. in the reception room at the theater.
“Ticket sales continue to pick up this week,” Ayers said.
She again stressed that tickets for the ‘Pre-Sip’ on Saturday night must be purchased online by Friday.
The play is characterized as a “delightful, laugha- minute comedy featuring four unique Southern women who all need to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines. The group is drawn together by fate during an impromptu happy hour, deciding it is high time to reclaimtheenthusiasmfor life they have lost through the years.”
The play was written by Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones, and Nicholas Hope.
Ayers noted that the show marks AMP’s 25th anniversary after their first play in 1999.
