McDonald’s coupon | 1/2 price ‘For Colored Girls’ | BOGO Maggiano’s

The sellout 29-show run of “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf” has been extended through Aug. 13. True Colors Theatre Company added five performances to the show directed by the Jasmine Guy at the Southwest Arts Center.

Half-price tickets for tonight’s show sold out in a snap at the two Atlantix ticket booths in Underground Atlanta and at Lenox Square. I’m told there will be a FEW available for Thursday’s night show. Including fees, you’d pay $20.50 for the day-of purchase. No online ticket purchases are available at the discount site for this show. The ticket outlet said today that it does not yet know whether it will have tickets for the remaining shows, but at this price and as fast as the shows are selling out, it is worth checking the website daily. The extended shows are: 7:30 p.m. Sunday; 8 p.m. Aug. 11 and Aug. 12; and 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Aug. 13.

Nicole Ari Parker and Crystal Fox will continue in the play, although Robin Givens will not. Full-price tickets can be purchased at Truecolorstheatre.org or by calling 1-877-725-8849.
