CFA's 3 Major Changes

Again, the full-house cheered with approval when Center for the Arts Executive Director Patience Long announced three major changes at the Murfreesboro facility.

After November 2, 2018, season ticket holders can use an assigned pass code and reserve specific seats on-line, over the phone or at the box office.

This new pass code allows regular patrons to purchase tickets two-weeks before it is open to the general public.

CFA's new benefits for season ticket holders also includes the ability to fill-out a calendar and marking the date you wish to attend and reserving your specific seat (if it is available).

And of course the big surprise was offering beer during intermission starting with the new season.

The Center for the Arts is at 110 West College Street in the historic district of downtown Murfreesboro. For more information, phone 615-904-ARTS (2787) or e-mail officemanager@boroarts.org.
