Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.

The Lowdown
Here's a first: a play written for one voice and delivered by sixteen. I Became We is Mona Pirnot's new play-with-music at Atlantic Theater Company, where a single monologue gets handed to a full choir.
Directed by Sarah Benson, it's a swirl of memory, motherhood, and the strange math of becoming more than one person. The choral staging turns a private story into something you feel in your chest — part play, part concert, all heart.
The Linda Gross Theater in Chelsea seats 199, so you'll be right up close to all those voices. It runs mid-October into November. If you like your theater a little different and a lot moving, this one's for you.
