One more cultural institution, in a partnership with the Hartford Public Library, is removing the barrier that keeps some city residents from enjoying live performances. Beginning January 8, you will be able to get free tickets to four shows at Hartford Stage this season.

You can view online which branches have available passes, but will need to go in person to check out the pass, which covers two tickets. Then, you have to call Hartford Stage to confirm seats.

Feeding the Dragon begins its run on January 11.
