Venus in Fur
Written by David Ives, Directed by Malinda L. Beckham
Drawing inspiration from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 novella Venus in Furs, Ives’ provocative and dark play is a comedic exploration of power dynamics, control, and sexuality.
Thomas is a playwright searching for the perfect actress to portray Vanda in his stage adaptation of Venus in Furs. As the evening wears on, a mysterious and unconventional woman, ironically named Vanda, arrives for her audition. Not only is she late, she also appears far from the ideal candidate Thomas had in mind. As the audition unfolds, Vanda’s performance takes an unexpected turn, blurring the lines between the script and reality. Through their interactions, the boundaries between the characters and the actors collapse, forcing both Thomas and Vanda to confront the complexities of their desires and the darker sides of human nature.

Additional notes
No purchase is necessary to enter. Limit one entry per person per performance. Multiple entries for the same performance will not increase your chances of winning and may be disqualified. Winners are selected at random and notified by email after entries close. If a winner does not respond by the listed deadline, another winner may be selected.
Tickets are subject to availability. Seats may be located anywhere in the theatre, may be partial view, and multiple seats may not always be together. Show dates, times, cast, and venue policies are subject to change. Previously purchased tickets are not eligible, and tickets claimed through this offer are final sale. These points follow the same general structure Lucky Seat uses in its official rules and site terms for eligibility, drawing, claiming, seat location, and no-refund conditions.
This offer does not apply to tickets that were already purchased and cannot be combined with any other promotion. All sales are final, with no exchanges or refunds. Only select seats are available at the discounted price. Performance dates, times, and cast may change without notice. Any health or safety rules in place at the venue must be followed, so it is a good idea to check the venue’s website before attending.
You may only win once, so only enter for performances you are actually able to attend. Only the winner can access digital tickets or pick up tickets at the box office. A valid photo ID is required, and the name on the winning entry must match the name on that ID. Some seats may have a partial view, and while every effort will be made to seat multiple tickets together, that cannot be guaranteed. Lottery seats may be located anywhere in the theater. If you need accessible seating, please note that when claiming your tickets.
