Thank you to everyone who worked to make this year’s Lights Up Gala a wonderful night! The event raised an amazing $690,000 in support of Theatre Under The Stars.

From the unforgettable performances by the incredible Kelli O’Hara and our talented TUTS Pre-Professional Company and Performance Troupe to the energetic After-Party with DJ Druw, we’re still basking in the glow of a spectacular evening! We also extend a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated supporters and partners, especially Margaret Alkek Williams, Don & Deni Dennis, Demetra & Franklin Jones, Amy Pierce, and Kristina Somerville.

We’re so close to reaching our Lights Up Gala fundraising goal and just need a little more support to get there! Your generous donation today can help us close the gap—please consider making a gift to support TUTS at the link below. You can also support Theatre Under The Stars via a stock donation at donatestock.com.

Thank you again for lighting up the night and helping make this event such a success. Your support fuels the magic of Theatre Under The Stars, and we can’t wait to create more memorable moments together!

Sincerely, The Theatre Under The Stars Development Committee
