Maltz Jupiter Theatre's 'Family Night Out' Set for Roger Dean Stadium, 5/6

Want to make a difference in our community and have fun doing it?

Join us for the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's Family Night Out at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter on Tuesday, May 5, or the Theatre's End of Season Happy Hour Celebration at Harbourside Place's Tommy Bahama restaurant on Wednesday, May 6.

All ages are welcome at the Tuesday evening Roger Dean stadium event, which will feature raffles, prizes and the 6:35 p.m. baseball game between the Jupiter Hammerheads and the Charlotte Stone Crabs.

"This is a great opportunity to bring the entire family out to Roger Dean Stadium for a fun-filled evening of baseball, prizes and more," said Andrew Kato, the Theatre's producing artistic director. "It's an affordable way to support the not-for-profit Maltz Jupiter Theatre while having a great time at a fantastic event."

The event will feature performances from the Theatre's Youth Touring Company, as well as a first pitch thrown by Theatre volunteer and Hobe Sound resident Margaret Wigiser, a former star Rockford Peach (the team made famous in the film A League of Their Own). Wigiser recorded the longest home run ever hit at Rockford Park during the short time she played for Minneapolis, then became the regular center fielder on the championship Peaches Team. She later became the first Director of Girls High School Sports in New York City.

On Wednesday, May 6, mingle with friends and network with business associates to benefit the Theatre. Harbourside Place's Tommy Bahama restaurant and bar will host an End of Season Happy Hour Celebration from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., featuring an open air soiree, entertainment, raffles, prizes and happy hour pricing for select food and drink items. Supported by 95.9 The Palm, those who donate $10 or more to the Theatre at the door through the Great Give campaign will receive a free appetizer card for their next visit.

"We are thrilled to have wonderful community partners like Roger Dean Stadium, Harbourside Place and Tommy Bahama that make this all possible," said Jennifer Sardone-Shiner, the Theatre's director of marketing. "We'd like to invite everyone in the community to come together and support the arts at one or both of these fun-filled events."

For those who can't make either event, secure donations of $10 or more will be accepted from 5 p.m. on May 5 through 5 p.m. on May 6 by visiting www.GreatGiveFlorida.org or by calling 1-844-GIVE-DAY and donating to the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. Every gift will be multiplied with additional dollars from the bonus pool being raised by The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
