Great seats. Reasonable prices. Six week holiday run.
Yes, this nutter is going several times. Hope I get to see both talented Billys.

Media area has lots of great restaurants, but since street parking is more difficult right before a show, I would suggest finding a parking space early and having a great meal at Margaret Kuo's, just a few hundred yards from the Media Theatre. Great Oriental food.

If you are going to The Media Theatre, there is on street and off street parking near. Both have parking meters that charge until 6:00PM: fifty cents an hour, free after 6:00PM.
If you go early for dinner at the Peking restaurant, there is a metered lot next door, and it is a short walk to the Media Theatre. Public transportation is also an easy option.

Be aware that the car park next to the theatre is used for an open air market on Thursday afternoon.....police will ticket! I found great free parking behind the baseball field on Barrell Community Park, along East Front Street. No 'resident sticker' needed.

The Delaware County Times has some interesting background on The local Billys.

Here's another article about the two boys playing Billy in Media -- Brandon Ranalli and Gunar Daniels. A nice piece, except for the fact that Brandon's name is mis-spelled.

Student tickets available, and senior tickets. Rush tickets for mid-week shows are only $25. Parking is free after 6:00PM and only 50cents per hour before. Easy rail transportation from downtown Philly to just in front of theater for those not driving. This is perfect show for those on a budget like me.
