M: Hey, Christine, remember how we were complaining that we wanted to see the drama series but couldn’t afford the tickets? I’ve found a solution.
W: Yeah? Won the lottery, huh?
M: Huh-uh. But, seriously, I did find a way for us to see all the plays—and we don’t have to pay a cent.
W: Come on, Jim. That’s impossible.
M: No, really, we can. I called Stanhope Theater to ask if they had student discounts. They didn’t, but they did have another suggestion.
W: What’s that’?
M: The man there told me they just lost four of their ushers so they have openings.
W: Really’?
M: Yeah. You don’t get paid, but you do get to stand in the back and watch the play after you’ve helped everyone find their seats. No seat, but a good view. Then during intermission you help sell refreshments.
W: But Jim, each play is performed on six nights. Can we make that big a commitment?
M: We don’t have to. That’s the best part. They have enough ushers so that each person works only two nights at the same play.
W: I never imagined we’d be able to see the whole series. Let’s take a look at the schedule right now.
