SWFL Theatre Fundraisers and Donation Info: How You Can Help!
With the cancellations of so many shows and events happening at theatres around Southwest Florida, these theatres now need your help more than ever.
I know these theatres are incredibly passionate about sharing the arts with the community, and I encourage you to support these incredible people and organizations in any way you can so they can continue to do so. Check out all the info below and please consider making a donation and/or sharing donation info with others who may also want to support these theatres.

They also have an online auction; you can check it out and bid here: https://one.bidpal.net/floridarep/welcome
