As a way to get the public more interested in theater, a national group is sponsoring Free Night of Theater 2007 (October 18, but I saw some companies are doing other dates as well.) They're doing this in a number of cities, including LA.
If you follow this

There are a lot of theaters participating, and some shows I know and love, some shows I'd be interesting in exploring. Free tickets go on "sale" on Monday October 8. Anyone in the southland interested in joining me?
