Call for Talented Tomatoes

We’re looking for talented Tomatoes to audition on March 10th for our fifth Tomatoes Got Talent Show which take place on April 9th. Auditions are open to women over 40 who do not earn their living with their talent. Many of our contestants and past winners, started out to be performers and then went on to do other things, but through our Talent Show they have found their back to performing for the love it again. Spread the word. Get the details.

Win Tickets to See 20th Century Blues

A Ted Talk. A photo shoot. A test of friendship. And a bond that connects four women who meet once a year to have their pictures taken in a ritual that chronicles their changing (and aging) selves as they navigate through love, careers, children, and the complications of history. 20th Century Blues is a sharply funny and evocative new play. Enter to win and get discounted tickets too!

Looking for Restaurants in the Theater District?

The Three Tomatoes Hot List is a great resource for excellent (and many reasonably priced) restaurants in the theater district.  Book a 2-for-1 Broadway Show and reasonably priced restaurant too.
