Center Theatre Group offer

Acknowledging that “the days ahead are belt-tightening days for all of us,” Center Theatre Group said Wednesday it would make 100,000 tickets available at $20 each for the 2008-09 season at its three venues.

The $20 tickets are available now for “Spring Awakening” at the Ahmanson Theatre and for “The School of Night” at the Mark Taper Forum, both of which begin previews in downtown L.A. next week. They will go on sale Sunday for “The Little Dog Laughed” at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
