$29 RUSH TICKETS THROUGH TODAYTIX
TICKETS AVAILABLE THROUGH SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 2026
AT BATED BREATH THEATER (UNION SQUARE)
New York, NY (December 11, 2025) – Today, Bated Breath Theatre Company (Mara Lieberman, Executive Artistic Director) announced a new $29 TodayTix digital rush policy for Dirty Books, the “inventive” (Stage and Cinema) production “causing quite a stir in New York’s theater world” (Forbes), now running through Sunday, January 18, 2026 at Bated Breath Theater (39 W 14th Street, #301).
Beginning at 9 AM ET, $29 rush tickets for Dirty Books will be available for the same day’s performance via the TodayTix app. More tickets may open for purchase throughout the day. There is a limit of 2 tickets per person and subject to availability.
Written and directed by Lieberman, a creative “at the forefront of immersive theatre in New York” (BroadwayWorld) with previous works like Voyeur: The Windows of Toulouse-Lautrec and Chasing Andy Warhol, Dirty Books is an immersive performance that plunges audiences into the heated battles over anti-obscenity laws and censorship in America. Inspired by the true stories of erotic fiction writers of the 1960’s and using Supreme Court-inspired transcripts, Dirty Books reveals the ingenuity and resilience of artists who thrived in the shadows of America’s anti-obscenity laws working in the soft-core adult publishing industry. Inside an intimate world of secret bookstores, banned novels, and underground desire, the audience collaborates with the company to compose an erotic story.
To purchase tickets and for more information, please visit www.dirtybooksplay.com, via the TodayTix app, and at www.TodayTix.com. A new block of VIP tickets are also available, offering guests priority seating, a complimentary refreshment, and a custom piece of merchandise exclusive to the performance.
