Expanded Fall Free for All Means Expanded Fun for All

The Broadway Center's Fall Free for All has been such a success that they're expanding it. Instead of a weekend of free events in the theater district, the 2013-2014 Free for All brings the community a year-long calendar of free cultural events, beginning September 27.

Community members are invited to enjoy the local theaters, support regional artists, dine out, and explore Tacoma's vibrant Theater District.

As in the past, all Free for All events are free with registration (per event), online at broadwaycenter.org. It looks like they've got some fun events planned...
