Free Night of Theater 2008

The City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs is pleased to announce Dallas' inaugural Free Night of Theater, to be held from Thursday, October 16 through November 10, 2008.

Presented in conjunction with Theatre Communications Group (TCG), Free Night of Theater offers Dallas theatergoers over 3,000 free tickets to more than 26 Dallas-area theaters. Dallas is one of 120 communities across the country participating in the event, which campaigns to attract new audiences to live theatrical performances.

HOW TO GET TICKETS: Theatergoers will only be able to reserve tickets through the Free Night of Theater website, www.freenightoftheater.net, beginning at noon on Wednesday, October 1, 2008.

Tickets can only be reserved online and reservations are handled on a first come, first serve basis. Each participating theatre will set a reservation ticket limit for their productions. Once tickets have been reserved through the website, patrons will be able to pick up their tickets at the will-call window of the individual theater's box office on the night of the show. Patrons are strongly encouraged to visit a theater that they have never attended.

OCA is thrilled to partner with the Dallas theatre community and TCG to offer this unique opportunity for thousands of new audience members to have access to experience the joy of theatre for the first time -- absolutely free of charge!
Many of the theaters have provided Art&Seek with additional information about their shows.
