BRIDGERTON BRUNCH FUNDRAISER to Support Pure Life Theatre's 2026-2027 Season

Pure Life Theatre Company invites the community to an elegant and immersive fundraising experience, The Bridgerton Brunch, to be held in the William Peace University Parlor in the Main Building on June 13 from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Inspired by the charm and pageantry of the Regency era, this special event lets guests support the arts while enjoying an afternoon of connection, creativity, and celebration.

The Bridgerton Brunch will transform the historic Parlor into a garden-inspired gathering space, featuring refined décor, engaging entertainment, and meaningful fellowship. Headlining the event are guest speaker Terry Williams Spicer and entertainment artist Kimberly Michelle. The afternoon also includes a silent auction, promenade, catered cuisine, interactive games, and curated experiences designed to delight and engage guests throughout.

“This event beautifully reflects who we are as an organization—rooted in community, storytelling, and shared experience,” said Deb Royals, one of the five original founders of Pure Life Theatre Company and its Director of Development and Technical Director. “The Bridgerton Brunch allows us to celebrate together while ensuring our work remains accessible and impactful for the audiences and communities we serve.”

The Bridgerton Brunch brings together arts supporters in a festive, welcoming environment to raise essential funds for Pure Life Theatre Company's programming. Proceeds from the event will directly support the organization's 2026–2027 season, including mainstage productions, student matinees, accessibility initiatives, and community engagement efforts throughout the Triangle.

Attendees are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the occasion with elegant, garden-party or Regency-inspired attire, contributing to the immersive and celebratory atmosphere of the event.
