A philosopher once called theater “the mask of convention over the face of society in the mirror of the unknown, reflecting the rear-view of the sports car of destiny.” Simplify this theory with today’s theatrical Groupon, which gets you tickets to either 500 Clown Macbeth or Streb: Brave at the State Theatre, located in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

A renovated vaudeville and silent-film palace, the State Theatre vivifies New Jersey’s cultural landscape with a collage of festivals, Broadway shows, and contemporary performances. With 500 Clown Macbeth, theater-goers will see the fourth wall shattered as a trio of competing clowns vie for the noble name of Macbeth while deconstructing the Scottish play through the troupe's use of circus art, improvisation, and action-packed performances. This deal also gives aspiring rug-cutters a chance to admire the chromatic acrobatics of Streb, an eight-member dance troupe that flips and flies across the stage in a breathtaking combination of gymnastics, dance, stunt work, and step-by-step re-creations of Super Bowl XXII.

Everyone, regardless of age, must have a ticket for admission.
