 Free Night of Theater - FAQs

 What is Free Night of Theater? 

 Free Night of Theater is a national event designed to introduce new audiences to live theatre by providing free tickets. We encourage anyone who does not go to the theatre to give it a try, while asking current theatre-goers to experience a theatre they've never visited before.

 How do I know what shows will be free? 

 Go to ArtsBoston.org and click on the Free Night of Theater ad to go to the list of free shows available. The shows will also be listed at the Bostix booths in Faneuil Hall and Copley Square.

 Can anyone participate in Free Night of Theater? 

 Anyone may reserve free tickets through ArtsBoston. The goal of Free Night of Theatre is to introduce new audiences to the theatres in the Greater Boston area, so we encourage you choose a theatre company you have never attended in the past.

 When can I make ticket reservations for Free Night of Theater? 

 Starting at 4:00pm on Thursday, October 5, you may reserve your free tickets online at ArtsBoston.org.

 Get a jump on the rush and reserve your free tickets in person at our BosTix locations on Thursday, October 5th at NOON.

 Can I call the theatres directly to reserve my free tickets? 

 No, free tickets cannot be booked through participating theatres. All reservations will go through ArtsBoston.

 Can I book more than one show for Free Night of Theater? 

 Only one show per patron, please. Reservations to multiple performances will be deleted.

 What should I do if the free tickets for the show I want are gone? 

 Try something new and choose a different performance! Also, shows that have "sold out" of free tickets may still have half-price tickets on sale at ArtsBoston.org. Check the show's listing at ArtsBoston.org for more information.

 What if I cannot attend the show I reserved? 

 Pass along your tickets to a friend! Simply forward your email conformation to someone you know who would like to see the show. Or contact the participating theatre directly to cancel your Free Night of Theater reservation.

 How do I pick up my tickets? 

 Free Night of Theater tickets will be held at the box office at the participating theatre. Pick up your tickets starting one hour before show time on the day of the Free Night performance. Tickets not claimed 30 minutes before show time will be released to stand-by patrons.

 Who has access to my information when I sign up for free tickets? 

The goal of this program is to connect people to theatres they've never been to before. To help us stay in touch, patron contact information collected for Free Night of Theater will be shared only by the host theatre and ArtsBoston. This information will not be sold.
