Free Night of Theater 2011 - Dallas

October 1 - 31, 2011
Presented by The City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs in conjunction with Theatre Communications Group (TCG), Free Night of Theater is a national program that campaigns to raise the awareness of and attract new audiences to live theatrical performances. 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!

Reserving Tickets:

Visit www.freenightdallas.com between September 9th and September 23rd to win up to FIVE pairs of free tickets to performing arts events in the Dallas/Fort Worth area! This program is intended to let you try something NEW, so take the chance to have an artistic adventure this fall through Free Night!

This year the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs has broadened and expanded the FREE NIGHT program that they have offered for the past three years, giving thousands of patrons the opportunity to try something new and experience some of the finest artistic work that the region has to offer! Instead of being restricted to theatre, the program now includes dance, music, and opera events at organizations of all sizes and styles.


The program also now operates with a new enter-to-win model (developed by LA Stage Alliance), where patrons have two weeks to look over all the arts events happening in the month of October and pick their top five choices and submit to win them in a random drawing. On or about September 28th, the available tickets will be randomly distributed based on the patrons' selections and ticket availability, allowing each patron to win as many as five different pairs of tickets! (Of course, as in all drawings and giveaways, getting tickets isn't guaranteed - encourage your friends and family to enter as well to improve your chances!)


FREE NIGHT is a national program created by Theatre Communications Group and has hundreds of thousands of participants from coast to coast - join the artistic adventurers, and be part of the dialogue using the twitter hashtag #FNOT11 - hear from each other about what amazing artistic work is being discovered in your area and around the United States!

Free Night of Theatre History

Free Night of Theater was conceived at TCG's National Conference in 2003 as a way to remove perceived barriers that have historically prevented audiences from attending not-for-profit theater. The program was piloted in 2005 in three cities; Philadelphia, San Francisco and Austin. That year over 150 theatre companies welcomed nearly 8,000 theatergoers of which an estimated 80 percent were attending the theatre for the first time. Since 2005 the program has grown tremendously.

Please join the Free Night email list to receive periodic special offers from Free Night's participating theatres.
