The Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction will hold its third annual theater fundraising event, An Evening of Broadway, on Wednesday, Aug. 14, at 7 p.m. at The Colonial Theatre Laconia. Tickets can be purchased online or in person at The Colonial Theatre box office at 609 Main St., Laconia, Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 2 pm.
“We are excited to be collaborating with local community theater groups to create this fundraising event,” said Jennifer Kelley, the auction’s executive director. “Our area is robust with talent, and we are eager to showcase them. We are also thrilled to give kids in need the ability to attend the show at no cost with our Sponsor a Seat initiative.”
The show will offer musical performances of all ages from local community theater groups, including Franklin Footlight Theatre, Gilford Performing Arts, Interlakes Theatre, Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative, The Power Chords, Streetcar Company and Winnipesaukee Playhouse. Students from Broadway North Dance Studio and Stages Dance Academy will be performing as well. Radio personality Pat Kelly will serve as emcee.
The event is family-friendly, and tickets range from $20-$30. Individuals are also invited to sponsor a seat for $20 per child to allow children from the Boys and Girls Club and other local nonprofits to attend at no cost. In 2023, we hosted 300 children last year thanks to our Sponsor a Seat initiative!
Presenting Sponsor of this event is Franklin Savings Bank. “An Evening of Broadway is such a fun and creative way to support children in need, while also showcasing the exceptional local talent we have here in New Hampshire.” explains Jenn Prince, Marketing and Community Engagement Officer. “As a community bank, we know that by giving back, we have the opportunity to grow stronger as a community. We are thrilled to support The Lakes Region Children’s Auction’s vision to ensure every child is empowered to succeed and positively impact a thriving Greater Lakes Region community.”
