About Free Night of Theater: 

Free Night of Theater is an unprecented effort initiated by Theatre Communications Group (TCG) to attract new audiences to live theatre across the country.  The goal of the program is to encourage ‘first-timers’ to see their first live theatre performance while giving regular theatregoers a chance to attend theatres they haven’t been to before.  

Free Night of Theater is your chance to:
     · See a live theatre production FOR THE FIRST TIME—for free!  
     · Go to a theatre you’ve never been to before—for free!
     · Introduce a friend to the excitement of live theatre—for free!

Free Night Charleston is now working on a new dynamic enter-to-win online system.
Patrons will now have two weeks. Sep 9 - 23, to look over all the participating theatre 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!  All entries must be made through the website; no telephone or email orders will be accepted.

If you have participated in Free Night in the past, please consider either trying a new theatre you have not been to before or giving up your tickets to someone new.  This program is designed for NEW patrons to experience the magic of live theatre, risk free!

All entries will receive an email from FreeNightCharleston prior to September 30th notifying the patron if they have won, and if so, to what production and date.
