Free Night of Theater 2008, Reserve Your Ticket Starting October 1

October 1st, 2008

I can think of two reasons to see a play in October:

1. Good entertainment.

2. Free tickets.

As part of a nation-wide event called Free Night of Theater, more than a dozen theatre companies in Oregon will offer free tickets to selected performances in October. The variety of shows is impressive, including comedies, improv, dramas and children’s theatre.

Tickets may be reserved starting October 1, 2008, at 8:00 am PST.

How can you reserve free tickets? It doesn’t mention anything on this page.

Sorry, Maria. It looks like everything is sold out. If you click on the Show Listings link in the post, it takes you to a page where you select your city/state. Then it takes you to a page that lists the shows and allows you to reserve. But as I mentioned, everything says “sold out.”
