Georgia Public Library Service Partners with the Alliance Theatre
Wednesday, May 11th, 2022
The Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) announced today a new partnership with the Alliance Theatre to provide a pass for free tickets to certain Theatre performances.
The Georgia Public Libraries Community Ticket Pass is available at all public libraries statewide. When checked out just like a book, patrons visit the Alliance website and utilize the pass to receive up to four free tickets to performances on either the Coca-Cola or Hertz Stage.
“The Alliance Theatre is thrilled to partner with Georgia Public Library Service on a program that provides all their public library patrons with free access to the theatre’s core productions for families and adults,” said Margarita Kompelmakher, director of community partnerships and engagement at the Alliance Theatre.
The Community Ticket Pass is an opportunity for Georgia residents and public library patrons to be introduced to, and experience, the art of theatrical performances they may not otherwise have been able to. It also provides the Alliance an opportunity to engage with its local community and reach the rest of Georgia in an entirely new way.
“It is particularly important to us that this is a state-wide program, and that the opportunity now exists for a family to visit Atlanta for a day trip and know they can count on an amazing live performance at the Alliance Theatre as part of that experience,” said Kompelmakher.
The Community Pass is available at all 407 public libraries in Georgia, joining a family of passes available to patrons that provide free or reduced cost admissions to educational and recreational organizations statewide.
“Georgia’s public libraries are so excited to partner with the Alliance Theatre. We are incredibly grateful to them for allowing us such unique access to their rich selection of culturally and artistically immersive performances,” said Julie Walker, associate vice chancellor and state librarian.
