We Were Overwhelmed by The Support

PKR and I just returned from our spaghetti fund-raiser to raise money for the Sixth Street Theater. It was a huge success.

Between the $5.00 admission, selling raffle tickets, and having tip jars on the tables, the theater raised over $2400 tonight in less than two hours.

The support was overwhelming.

People started streaming in around 5:15, and it didn't let up until after 7 p.m. We easily fed around 400 people tonight.

Not only did they get salad, spaghetti, bread and cookies, but some first class entertainment as well.

People in the Silver Valley don't want the theater to go away, and they showed us tonight that they were serious. But, Silver Valley citizens are known far and wide for their generosity.

So, we will keep plugging away, and prepare for the summer shows, and the upcoming season. It should be a great year. I'll be getting out information on the upcoming season, so look at the schedule, and make plans to come join us this year!!!

HELP SAVE THE THEATER!!!


If you happen to be visiting the Centre of the Universe on Friday night, (you know, Wallace, Idaho), drop by the Elks from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and attend the Sixth Street Theater's Spaghetti Dinner Fund-raiser.

The theater, like so many things, has been hit hard financially, and we are trying to raise some funds to keep things going. We plan to serve some spaghetti, provide some great entertainment, and have lots of fun.

PKR and I are directing both melodramas this summer, and are in the midst of auditions. But, if we don't raise some added funds, the theater may not be able to pay their monthly bills, which isn't good. So this is the first of many special events the theater is putting on this summer to help raise some money!!

Hope to see you there!!!
