Select the top two performances you’d like to see and enter for your chance to win as many as two pairs of tickets to two performances.

NowPlayingUtah.com has broadened and expanded the Free Night program to a Free “Month” program. Instead of being restricted to selecting a theater performance on one night, now patrons will have a choice of performances during the time period of Oct. 21 – Nov. 17, providing many more patrons the opportunity to try something new and experience some of the finest theater performances the state has to offer.

“We are excited to be able to offer the Free Night of Theater again to open the world of live performance to new audience members in Utah,” said Pat Holmes of NowPlayingUtah.com. “We have some pretty amazing theatre productions this year with 17 generous theaters providing free tickets to 19 different productions”.
