BAY AREA THEATER: FREE OCTOBER 18, LIVE EVERY DAY!

With the expected participation of over 120 Bay Area theatre companies, Theatre Bay Area is pleased to announce Free Night of Theater 2007, with free performances clustered around October 18, 2007.  Tickets can be reserved starting at 10am October 2, 2007 at the TIX Booth in Union Square and at 6pm online at TixBayArea.com.  Performances must be between October 13 and November 11, 2007.

This year, the theme for the Bay Area Free Night of Theater is “Free today, live every day.” It celebrates the immediacy and power of live theatre in the Bay Area.  Theatre, beyond being a fun and engaging experience, demonstrates that transformative change is possible, and enlightens, challenges and stimulates audiences in a way nothing else can--in large part because it is live.

As with the first two years, Theatre Communications Group, the national theatre service organization, will continue to coordinate the program nationally, and has again expanded the program to new cities across the country.  Theatre Bay Area manages Free Night locally. But even as it reaches more Americans, the program remains as stunningly audacious and captivatingly simple as it was at the start:  Open the doors of our theatres to new audience members for free…on about the same day…all across the country.  Last year, Free Night of Theater featured 151 performances from 110 Bay Area companies and passed out over 8,300 free tickets!
