'Good Night, and Good Luck' to provide 2,000 tickets to NYC students

The ticket initiative is subsidized by the George Clooney-led production, adapted from his 2005 film about journalist Edward R. Murrow, and TodayTix.

Good Night, and Good Luck, starring Oscar winner George Clooney, will provide 2,000 tickets to the play for journalism students in NYC public schools. The hit play, which has broken multiple box office records at the Winter Garden Theatre, runs through June 8.

The Good Night, and Good Luck student ticketing initiative is subsidized jointly by the production and by ticketing platform TodayTix. “Thank you to George Clooney, the producers of Good Night, and Good Luck, and TodayTix for their inspired generosity and recognizing that all the world is truly a stage for our NYC public school students to explore educational and life skills of literacy, artistic interpretation and point of view," Peter Avery, the NYC Department of Education Director of Theater, said in a statement. "We look forward to students from across the city creatively learning about the intersection of theatre, journalism and politics… on Broadway!”

Good Night, and Good Luck — adapted from the 2005 film Clooney co-wrote, directed, and played a supporting role in — follows journalist Edward R. Murrow and his on-air battle over ethics and truth with Joseph McCarthy, the senator who led the anti-communist Red Scare in the 1950s.

For the stage play, Clooney stars as Murrow and penned the stage adaptation with his original co-screenwriter Grant Heslov. David Cromer directs. The cast also includes Ilana Glazer as Shirley Wershba, Mac Brandt as Colonel Anderson, Will Dagger as Don Hewitt, Christopher Denham as John Aaron, Glenn Fleshler as Fred Friendly, Clark Gregg as Don Hollenbeck, Paul Gross as William S.
