Google Places & Stage Rush announce the Relatively Speaking ticket giveaway contest
In Relatively Speaking, four-time Oscar winner Ethan Coen and two-time Oscar nominee Elaine May join with Woody Allen for a one-of-a-kind Broadway experience directed by John Turturro. Julie Kavner, Steve Guttenberg, Mark Linn-Baker and Marlo Thomas head a cast of 16 in this hilarious evening of one-act plays that explore the often outrageous reality of relatives (each one-act play springs from a different branch of the family tree).
So, what’s better than attending a performance of Relatively Speaking with a friend at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre? How about getting to attend a performance of Relatively Speaking with a friend for free, courtesy of Google Places and Stage Rush?
Stage Rush is proud to be teaming up with Google Places, the new personalized local recommendation engine powered by the reviews of users and their friends. Google New York wants to give you the opportunity to win a pair of tickets to Relatively Speaking, just for sharing your opinions about your favorite places in New York City—and all the winners will go out to the theater together on the evening of Tuesday, January 10. And, after the show, you’ll all go out for drinks—on Google! Read more
