Manhattan.

events to make your EPICC Adventure to the Big Apple extra special.

ON-LINE
THEATER TICKETS
The League of American Theaters and
Producers have provided EPICC with a fast and easy way to purchase your
theater tickets in advance of your visit. Even if you cannot visit New
York, we are attempting to let you still buy gift certificates for
theater tickets on-line. The theaters benefit immediately as they
receive vital funds, and the certificates for future plays would then be
(tentatively) contributed to the Twin Towers Fund -- established by New
York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani to assist, support, and recognize the
families of members of the uniformed services of NYC.

1935. In 1998, President Clinton and the U.S. Congress designated the
