Get Tix: Win tickets to see the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival's How Theater Failed America

We're giving away a limited number of PAIRS of tickets to Mike Daisey's How Theater Failed America.
Here's what the guide has to say about the show:
From gorgeous new theaters standing empty as cathedrals, to "successfulâ working actors traveling like migrant farmhands, to an arts culture unwilling to speak or listen to its own nation, Daisey takes stock of the dystopian state of theater in America: a shrinking world with smaller audiences every year. Ship in freeze-dried actors from New York City? Certainly! Create generations of theater professors who have never worked in theater? Absolutely! Earn no pay and have no hope of a living wage? Sign us up! Daisey gives a darkly hilarious and truthful dissection of the art thatâs being made, the legacy we leave to the future, and just who it is the theater believes it's speaking to.
The whens and wheres and whatnots:
Saturday, Sept. 5
8 p.m.
Suzanne Roberts Theatre
480 S. Broad St.
These tickets run $30 a pop, so answering this theater trivia question is well worth your (and your plus-one's) while:
Which Philadelphia theater company produced a play in its 2008-09 season featuring the unlikely meeting of Sigmund Freud and Salvador DalÃ?
Hit me up at carolyn.huckabay@citypaper.net for a chance to win! Remember, you'll get two (2!) tickets to the Saturday night showing of How Theater Failed America if you can correctly answer the trivia question (and our tickets are limited, so be quick about it). Please include your name and mailing address with your answer.
