At 10 a.m. this morning you need to have your Web browser pointed to www.freenightoftheater.net so you can take advantage of free theater tickets provided by an array of Cincinnati theater companies. Don’t dally — these tickets, mostly for performances on Oct. 16, will be snapped up within an hour or so based on what happened in 2007 when the League of Cincinnati Theatres participated for the first time in the national program “Free Night of Theatre,” an audience-development program sponsored by Theatre Communications Group.
Since TCG began the program in 2005, it has expanded to more than 100 cities, where at least 600 theaters are offering tickets on the same evening. This year’s campaign offers performances in Atlanta, Austin, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Lexington, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C. plus statewide in Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
