AT&T Performing Arts Center “Lyfting” Higher In 2018
By: A.A. Cristi Mar. 19, 2018
Lyft, the fastest growing on-demand transportation service in the US., is excited to serve as the official 2018 ride-share partner of the nonprofit AT&T Performing Arts Center. The Center is an iconic Dallas Arts District landmark, and a bedrock for the cultural arts in the Big D.
Lyft will partner with the Center for its biggest season yet, headlined by A-List talent. Visitors can sing along to Hairspray and Jersey Boys, and hear thought-provoking speakers during the #hearhere series, such as Bill Murray and Rob Lowe.
"Lyft is a proud patron of the arts and is thrilled to help spread the timeless magic of the local arts to Dallasites," said Yohan Bobcombe, Lyft Mark Manager, Dallas-Fort Worth. "With a seamless transportation experience provided by Lyft, Center-goers can take advantage of all Dallas has to offer."
The Lyft pick up/drop off area will be located outside the AT&T Performing Arts Center, near the Center Cafe between Leonard and Crockett Street. Newly launched in Dallas, the Lyft Lux and Lyft Lux SUV black cars will offer ride discounts for art patrons.
"The AT&T Performing Arts Center is thrilled to welcome back patrons for another stand-out season," said Doug Curtis, president and CEO of AT&T Performing Arts Center. "We're confident our partnership with Lyft will enhance our visitors' experiences from start to finish."
