NYC theater offers $5 tix for food stamp holders

A theater is offering inexpensive stress-free entertainment for New Yorkers who've hit rock bottom.

The Jewish Theater of New York announced Monday that anyone on food stamps or Medicaid can see its upcoming production for just $5. Full price tickets are $50.

"Press 93 For Kosher Jewish Girls In Krakow" opens Jan. 17 at the Kraine Theater.

The play is about ultra-Orthodox rabbis who use smartphones to repress their followers' most intimate thoughts.

The lower Manhattan theater offers general seating; no reservations are needed.

Performances will be Sundays at 3 p.m. and Wednesdays at 7 p.m. through April 18.

There will be no shows on Feb. 21 through March 10.
