Kids love living the nightlife too

Have a night out on the town with the family.

The Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, located at 130 North Tryon Street, will host exciting Kids’ Night activities for six upcoming shows this winter. These special events are a wonderful way to permit children ages 14 and younger the chance to enjoy the upscale nightlife that the Queen City has to offer. The Center allows children to become actively engaged in the Charlotte art scene.

Kids’ Night programs typically offer free or reduced-priced tickets for children attending the show and/or pre-show activities. During the pre-show kids can enjoy a participatory experience that will enhance their understanding and enjoyment of the performance their family plans to attend.

The free show tickets for children (with paying adult) are available as long as tickets are available for the performance. Some shows do limit the number of seats designated for the Kids’ Night special.

Please be aware that the educational pre-show programs associated with the Kids’ Night performances are limited based on the number of children who can be accommodated at the activity. Free tickets for the pre-show activity are provided first come, first serve as tickets are ordered. Therefore, purchase tickets early.
