By now you all know about TheatreSquared’s Jungalbook production that opens this Saturday, June 30 and runs through Saturday, July 7 in the Walton Arts Center’s Nadine Baum Studios. 

How would you like to win 4 free tickets to the show?  Here’s how:

  2. Copy me on the email (allsidesoflife@gmail.com)

I will enter your name in a drawing for 4 free tickets to the Jungalbook that can be used at any show with available seats.  Your name will be entered once for each friend.  So, if you forward the post to 10 friends, your name will be entered in the drawing 10 times.  If you have already purchased tickets to the show, you will receive vouchers for 4 tickets to a future TheatreSquared production of your choice.
