The free performance is part of the Theatre Communication Group’s 2008 FREE NIGHT OF THEATER. This annual nationwide celebration of America’s theater community was designed to offer free theater tickets to introduce new patrons to live theatre and give existing theatergoers the opportunity to attend a venue they have never visited before.

“We are honored to be part of this worthy and exciting effort, said Richard Pettibone, President of TheatreWorks New Milford. “In addition to the other 15 Connecticut theaters, we’ll be joining 600 other venues across the country in 120 different cities to attract new theatergoers through our doors. And if you’re going to draw someone new to the theatre, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC is the perfect show to make that introduction.”

On Thursday, October 2, at 10:00 a.m., the online box office for CT events opens at www.freenightoftheater.net. Interested patrons can visit the Web site and reserve a pair of tickets to see A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at TheatreWorks New Milford. Limited quantities of seats are available for the October 16 performance.
