Dayton Performing Arts Alliance is pleased to offer its Military Appreciation Program for active-duty military members, retired veterans with ID cards, and WPAFB government civilian employees in the Miami Valley area by offering two pairs of free tickets per military household to be chosen from a variety of performances from the 2022‒2023 Season.
The first pair can be used between September and December 2022, and the second pair can be used between January and June 2023. This program is sponsored by Dayton Aerospace, Inc.
