About Free Night: Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for the not-for-profit American theatre, developed this exciting and innovative national audience development initiative to attract new audiences and raise public awareness about live theatre. As TCG continues to roll out the Free Night program across an expanding national stage, the program provides a unique opportunity for theatres nationwide to collaborate on a project that provides access for new audiences to experience the joy of theatre for the first time.

Free Night 2008: In 2008, Free Night continues its success of introducing the program into regions of the country currently not represented in the program. We are pleased to announce the inclusion of Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas and New York City (more cities to be announced) in the Free Night 2008 program. TCG will continue to partner with APASO organizations and arts councils to produce Free Night in 2008, with the goal to present the program in over 100 cities across the country, expand individual theatre participation to 750 theatres, which will in turn offer up to 75,000 free tickets nationally.
