Holiday Theater Sale at PPAC and The VETS Offers 25% Off Select Shows for One Day Only

If holiday shopping has started to feel like a scavenger hunt without a prize, circle Saturday, December 6. The Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) and Veterans Memorial Auditorium (The VETS) plan to turn gifting into an applause-worthy experience with their annual Holiday Sale, where theater lovers can score 25 percent off select performances for one day only.

The sale runs from 12:01am-11:59pm and invites shoppers to grab deals online using code NUTMEG at ppacri.org or GINGER at thevetsri.com. Anyone who prefers the charm of in-person service can stop by the PPAC Box Office at 220 Weybosset Street or call 401.421.ARTS between 10am-8pm.

The lineup reads like a greatest hits playlist for every kind of theatergoer. At PPAC, shoppers can save on seats for the matinee of the Boston Pops Holiday Concert with Keith Lockhart, the high-energy spectacle of Cirque Dreams Holidaze, and select performances of Disney’s “The Lion King,” a perennial favorite that fills the theater year after year. Broadway titles like “Water for Elephants,” “Suffs,” and Tony-winning “Kimberly Akimbo” also join the sale with select seating options available.

At The VETS, families and fans can find savings on Ballet RI’s beloved production of “The Nutcracker,” “The Big Show,” Sesame Street Live’s “Elmo’s Got the Moves,” and more. Music lovers can gift nights out featuring Brit Floyd, Sutton Foster with the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra, and Andrew Bird, each bringing a little extra sparkle to the winter calendar.

For anyone torn between gifting a Broadway smash or a night with the Philharmonic, PPAC and The VETS gift cards take the guesswork out of the equation and keep every option on the table. With a lineup that stretches from holiday favorites to fresh new theater and legendary musicians, the one-day sale gives shoppers the chance to wrap up something that feels genuinely special. PPAC gift cards are available online at ppacri.org/giftcards, while gift cards for The VETS can be purchased at thevetsri.com/events/gift-cards, by calling 401.421.ARTS (2787), or in person at the Box Office window.
