Jack Evans Offering Free Shakespeare Tickets to Ward 2

First it was baseball, now it’s the theater.

D.C. Councilmember Jack Evans wants to take his Ward 2 constituents to see “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Shakespeare Theatre Company (610 F St. NW) on Sept. 10 at 7:45 p.m.

From now until next Tuesday, Evans will hand out up to two free tickets to Ward 2 residents on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Sherri Kimbel, the councilmember’s director of constituent services, said the free Shakespeare passes shouldn’t sell out quite as quickly as the Nationals tickets did last week.

“I could not believe how fast we went through the Nats tickets,” Kimbel said over e-mail. “We usually don’t go through the Shakespeare tickets as fast, so folks should be okay for a while.”

Ward 2 residents interested in picking up a pair of free theater tickets should email Amorde Brabham at [email protected].
