Keep your theatre thriving
Things are brighter, but we still need your help!
Your financial help and moral support have been key factors in our survival during these last 2 plus years. But we are very aware that variations of the COVID virus are still with us, and that we are not completely free of the constraints that it has brought to our lives. And so, our 3rd fundraising campaign begins, with a goal of $50,000. Your support is crucial if we are to continue to produce quality theatre at a modest cost to the community.
