Don’t miss this one-night only fundraiser performance
A Simple Gift is about 10-year-old Carrie O’Connor, who wants to be an actress. After starring in her class play at her New York City school, she convinces her parents to let her audition for a theater in North Carolina that is doing a play based on a book written by her mother! A plucky audition gets Carrie in the cast, but before opening night she makes a blunder so big it threatens to topple the whole production.
Before the show begins, you are invited to enjoy a catered Standing Supper full of delicious delights and an expansive open bar beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Atrium of Center in the Square. Then, experience the exclusive one-night only performance of Nancy Ruth Patterson’s A Simple Gift on the Trinkle MainStage.
After the curtain call, join the cast for a star-studded celebration with dessert, bubbly, and Broadway favorites on the piano.
How To Get Tickets:
The goal of this fundraiser is to supplement generous grants from the Fishburn Foundation and the Helen S. and Charles G. Patterson, Jr. Charitable Foundation Trust to renovate the Waldron Stage into a “green space” venue both for performances, as the home of the MMT Conservatory and to support other needs of Mill Mountain Theatre.
Tickets are $100 a person, and can only be purchased in advance by contacting events@nullmillmountain.org or call 540-342-5761. RSVP by October 15th. A portion of your ticket price will be a tax-exempt charitable gift to Mill Mountain Theatre.
