7 Reasons Why You Should Attend College Night

CollegeNight_2016-2

You know what’s even more tragic than Romeo and Juliet?

Trying to enjoy Shakespeare on a college budget. Parting with your well-earned cash can be “such sweet sorrow,” pun intended.

Luckily, Open Arts and The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre are joining forces to bring you an incredible performance at an incredible price, just $5 for Open Arts Members. Our first College Night is on April 20, with a performance of Twelfth Night.  Not an member? Use the code: social1516 to sign up here.  Need any more convincing?

1. You Get to Meet Awesome Students from Other Schools
Why get caught up in your own school’s bubble when there is a huge network of talented, passionate students awaiting you at other Philly schools as well? College Nights are the perfect opportunity to meet new people, and expand your social and professional networks. We’d call that a win-win.

2. It’s FUN!
Chances are, you could use a break from the library and your typical weekly schedule. Why not get out there and see a show and give your Netflix account a break? We will have tons of fun photo opps for you and your friends to snag that perfect Instagram post, make sure to tag us and use the hashtag, #MeetPhilly.

3. You Get to Meet US!
Don’t miss your chance to see our bright and shining faces at College Night! We will be there to give you more information about all of the perks of Open Arts Membership, as well as prizes, candy, and more! We’ll also be available to answer any questions you may have about how we can help you achieve your #PerfectPhillySummer.

4. Did We Mention the Price?
If you’re an Open Arts Member, you get to see professional shows all the time for free or extremely discounted prices…College Night is no exception! You get to see an incredible Shakespeare show for the same price as a Starbucks drink and pastry.

5. The Chance to Experience Part of  Philadelphia’s Arts Culture
Philadelphia’s arts events are about as diverse as the people that live in it! If you’ve never seen a play in Philly, or a Shakespeare one at that, now is the perfect opportunity to do so!

6. A Perfect Excuse to Escape into the City
Tell your homework and finals preparations that it can wait a few hours. Taking a break and taking a short subway ride into Center City can be a great way to ease your mind and unwind during the end of the semester stresses!

7.Close Proximity to Great Eats
If we couldn’t convince you with all of the other reasons to be at College Night…consider this. The theater is close to so many incredible places to eat. That’s something we can really sink our teeth into.
