Try something new this year and make a resolution to see as many live shows as you can. Not only do you get to spend time out at the theater dressed in your best for an inspiring night, but you get to support many friends and neighbors who make their living in the arts. Remember, when you’re out seeing a show you’re not just supporting the performer but the entire staff that make these shows possible.
Browse below and grab your last minute tickets for the next week of entertainment before they’re all sold out. We’re here to make sure you don’t spend this year at home on the couch!
