Theater is expensive, which is why you never go (for the sake of argument). The annual Free Night of Theater aims to lure in new audiences with a free ticket giveaway—you can enter to win up to five pairs of tickets right over here.

I just made a fake account to see what shows are available—great options include black Oklahoma at Portland Center Stage; Animals and Plants at the Coho (a collaboration between actors from Artists Rep, Third Rail, and Portland Playhouse), and No Man's Land at Artists Rep—our annual visit from William Hurt. Alas, no Bye Bye Greasy.
