Win Tix to the Theatre@Boston Court's Vampire Show in Pasadena
()
We are all lucky enough to live in a region rich in arts, especially theatre. And Pasadena has one of the strongest presences around with its Playhouse District, which includes the Boston Court Performing Arts Center (follow them on Twitter) where a new world premiere play, Courting Vampires, opened this earlier this month.
Both the LA Weekly and Variety have given the show great reviews and we'd like to offer two pairs of tickets to our readers--one for Saturday this weekend and one for Saturday next weekend (and if you want to purchase tickets, click here. Use the code "LAIST" for a $5 discount).
To enter, write a comment on this post telling us a Pasadena restaurant you would dine at before or after the show. It could be your favorite eatery or one you've always wanted to try. Full details and rules of the contest are below:

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
