The night of the theaters 2017

For the fifth consecutive year, the Metropolitan Region Theater Network organizes a night dedicated to captivating new audiences and promoting the development and dissemination of national performing arts. The activity will have two days: on Wednesday, October 25, a large public event will be held in Plaza Italia to begin the sale of 5 thousand tickets for only one thousand pesos; while on Thursday the 26th the show will be replicated in a more abbreviated form, to give way to The Night of the Theatres, which will be experienced during that day bringing together 26 performances in 22 associated rooms.

For Gian Reginato, president of the board of directors of the Network of Theater Halls, "this celebration is essential for more people to access the theater and conquer new audiences. It is an effort that the Network makes to give greater citizen participation to the performing arts and thus break down prejudices about their access. It represents an opportunity to appreciate beauty, stop to reflect and enjoy the entertainment and talent of our artists. We want it to be a different night for the people of Santiago and that is why we have a varied program so that everyone can enjoy it. “Join this celebration.”
