Free tickets set for A Christmas Story at Nashville Rep

For a special installment of Regions Free Day, Regions Bank is partnering with Nashville Repertory Theatre to offer free admission to the 6th annual performance of A Christmas Story at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s Andrew Johnson Theatre on November 29 at 2 pm.

Adapted from the iconic motion picture of the same name, the story follows the humorous campaign of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker to get Santa (or anyone else) to give him a “legendary official Red Ryder carbine-action 200 shot range-model air rifle” for Christmas. This irresistible piece of Americana is guaranteed to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.

Free tickets are now available online at patron.tpac.org, in-person at the TPAC box office or by calling (615) 782-4040 with promo code REGIONSFREEDAY.

Tickets are limited to four per person or e-mail address. Orders violating this limit will be cancelled without notice. This is a will call-only event, and tickets will be available for pick-up at 12:30 pm on Saturday, Nov. 29 (90-minutes prior to show time on the day of the performance).

Please note there is no late seating and late arrivals will be seated at intermission. Seats are not guaranteed. Any tickets not picked up by 1:45 pm (15-minutes prior to show time on the day of the performance) will be released to patrons on the waiting list. Patrons on the waiting list must be present at 1:45 pm to receive tickets.

Regions Free Day is an annual initiative offering complimentary access to one area blockbuster attraction or event each month. Regions Bank’s program allows Middle Tennessee residents to explore the fun and unique attractions Nashville has to offer at little or no cost.
