$30 for a Four-Show Premiere Pass to Broken Gears Project Theatre
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: for $30, you get a premier pass for one person at Broken Gears Project Theatre (up to a $60 value), located on the corner of Fairmount and Shelby. The premier pass is good for the 2010–2011 season’s remaining four shows . With an ambitious repertoire that mixes ancient classics with groundbreaking new plays, Broken Gears Project Theatre puts on socially conscious spectacles aimed at challenging both spectator and performer. Creditors , on view through March 3, is a darkly comic tale of how old debts can reopen old wounds. Running March 17–26, The Magadalen Whitewash explores a dark chapter in Irish history when women were forced into abusive convents for becoming pregnant outside of marriage. Between April 21 and May 8, players don masks for a take on Sophocles’ ancient Greek melodrama Oedipus The King , but utilize multimedia techniques to give it a decidedly modern feel. Finally, La Mano (The Hand) presents a magical realist fable about a rich man that buys a hand on the black market, and the original owner who wants it back, from June 6–26. Broken Gears features an intimate playing space that seats audience members just along the fragile edge of the fourth wall. Before performances, theater patrons enjoy concessions at the Little Pink House lounge, whose decorations change to reflect the current show, while dauntless devotees attempt to sneak backstage in prop barrels to mix and mingle with talented company members .

$25 for $50 Worth of Shoes and Apparel at Run On!
The feet of runners are notoriously temperamental, frequently staging rebellions in which they stop running, run too slowly, or run quickly but straight toward angry wolverines. Placate pavement-pounding instigators with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of shoes and apparel at Run On! . Today’s deal is valid at Run On!’s Dallas, Richardson, Coppell, and McKinney locations . Named one of America’s best running retailers by Competitor magazine , Run On! staffs a squad of footwear aficionados who are all learned practitioners of the running arts. Specializing in matching runners, joggers, and walkers with the perfect fit, the store’s perfervid shoe purveyors meet with customers and perform a thorough podiatric investigation, gauging gates, assessing arches, and appraising pronation to ensure each foot is in fact a foot, and not a masquerading hand trying to escape its high-five duties. After preparing for the perfect pairing, speed-striders are given their run of the extensive collection of ballyhooed brands , including Asics, Brooks, New Balance, and Nike. Shoes range in price from $90 to $140, so this Groupon won’t cover the full cost of shoes, but Run On! stocks a full line of running accessories and apparel, such as the women’s Epiphany short ($36.99) or the men’s Infiniti Notch short ($45.99), both by Brooks. Feetures socks (most styles are $9.99) and Nathan Quickdraw Plus water bottles ($9.99) further help prepare runners for dashes toward finish lines and sprints toward platters of cupcakes.
