If you plan on visiting San Francisco anytime between October 3 and November 2, 2008, you might want to check out what’s available from Theatre Bay Area’s “Free Night of Theater,” an annual event which has grown into an entire month of free theater-going.

Indeed, the “free-for-all” includes you, the visitor to San Francisco. Should your trip coincide, definitely try and get in on the giveaway. Starting today (Oct. 1), a new batch of tickets will be uploaded every Wednesday through October 22nd, and will remain available until they’re gone. Log on early for the best selection.

A free show during your stay in San Francisco could be the perfect end to a day spent exploring the city. Participating S.F. theaters include the American Conservatory Theatre, 42nd Street Moon, and SF Playhouse.

Last year, Theatre Bay Area gave away over 8,000 tickets to theater-goers across the Bay. To be part of the celebration this year, simply log onto the official site and take a look at the available tickets. Register a patron ID (it takes but a minute) and then, reserve your ticket(s). Performances begin October 3rd and continue through November 2nd.
