Want free tickets to an event not to be missed? (Click “Read on” or the title for more info.)

Update: They’re gone! (If you e-mailed us, but haven’t heard back yet, don’t worry, we’ll be in touch as soon as we sort out which tickets go to whom to give everyone tickets as close to their first choice as possible.

We’ll keep everyone’s contact info through the weekend, as a sort of standby list, in the off-chance that someone who “won” tickets tells us they can’t go.  Don’t bank on this, though.  We strongly recommend buying tickets while you can to avoid missing out on the show altogether.)

The Black Stripe Theater is a special treat for Anglophone Tokyoite fans of the stage: professional actors,professional director, excellence all around. When a company as good as the BST takes on a play as great as David Mamet’s masterpiece Glengarry Glen Ross in the intimate space of Theater Iwato, it’s bound to be a show to remember.
