DOG SEE DOG: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD And I AM MY OWN WIFE Among Shows Coming To CoHo Productions This Summer

An anti-social piece about friends, intuitive storytelling, comedy capers and more are being offered this summer by CoHo Productions in its first ever summer programming: Endless Summer. This is our ambitious endeavor to co-produce at least one performance in the CoHo Theater every night beginning Thursday, July 9, until August 29! They're cheap too! Every production has at least one performance in which ticket prices start at $5.

To celebrate Endless Summers' first year, CoHo Productions is also introducing the *Festival Ten Pass - the most exciting and cost effective way to participate in Endless Summer. This punch card equals ten tickets that can be used in whatever way you prefer, for example: You could use your ten passes to attend ten different performances or you and a theater buddy could attend five different performances or you and nine of your closest friends could attend one performance, you decide what works for you! The Festival Four Pass ($25) can be used in a similar manner.

Please be advised there are a limited number of festival passes available.
*This pass Does Not include admission to the Dog Sees God.
