A sampling of auction items includes: House seats to "hard to get" theatre productions, vacation packages, signed memorabilia, unique art, stunning jewelry items, personalized cooking classes, dress-up trunk for girls, dress up trunk for boys, Tea Sets fit for Royalty and much, much more.

"The economic climate in recent years has made it increasingly difficult to sustain our mission of bringing the arts to young people in their schools," said Ruth Fost, Executive/Artistic Director of Pushcart Players. "We are looking forward to this very special fundraising event for the company, which in turn will benefit thousands of young viewers throughout the state."  

The advance sale admission cost for this benefit performance and delightful reception designed for all ages is $25 for children (12 and under) and $45 for adults.
