Houston Arts Alliance (HAA) is proud to be the local partnering agency for the national Theatre Communications Group (TCG) initiative, Free Night of Theater, where theaters open doors to new audiences free of charge. Free Night of Theater began in 2005 in three cities – Austin, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Now, the event has expanded to more than 120 participating cities, with 714 theaters offering over 2,000 free performances that attracted over 65,000 new theatergoers from coast to coast.

In 2009, 22 organizations participated in Houston's inaugural Free Night of Theater, offering 2,298 tickets to over 60 performances.

2010 Free Night of Theater  will kick-off nationwide in October. All free tickets will be distributed by local theatres via the program’s national interactive website, www.freenightoftheater.net.
