Proceeds from this Auction will help keep us going strong during our recovery. Though we are able to produce again, audiences are smaller, generating less income. But our patrons can still enjoy a wonderful time at the Theatre without breaking the bank.

This season we have been able to present our entire season in-person while also offering them as Video On Demand for patrons not ready to venture out quite yet. Our Education Programming has served hundreds of students with FREE workshops either virtually or in-person. Your support helps us provide these important arts experiences to your community.

We are looking forward to next season, and hope you will join us.
