I confess that I agree with the ancient bard, himself, "The play's the thing."

I really enjoy the theater. This summer I was blessed to fulfill a lifelong goal to see a play on Broadway. (It was wonderful and I encourage you all to go. http://www.broadway.com/template_5.asp )

While there I encountered the perfect solution to last minute show plans. It was called the TIXtent or TicketTent. In short, it allowed me to walk up and pay half price for shows available today. It was easy and afforded last minute plans; perfect for a tourist like me.

Now we have that kind of resource here in Atlanta! It is called AtlanTIX and is a same-day walk-up ticket purchasing business. Because we aren't as show driven as Broadway in New York, they also offer many local museum tickets as well.

I know it's odd recommending a real world item that you cannot use online, but the online reference will tell you what is playing. I hope that the option of same-day purchase will make your last-minute entertainment more fun.

Enjoy the show!
