Playhouse of Wilson invites you to join them for a beautiful, fun-filled event with music, prizes, and more, all in support of a great cause!
Proceeds from this special Playhouse of Wilson event will benefit Wilson Arts, a non-profit organization whose facilities and resources provide much-needed space for Playhouse of Wilson. Funds raised will support Wilson Arts’ MakerSpace expansion, which will include rehearsal space, a scene build shop, ceramics, and metalsmithing studios. Construction is already underway.
This fundraiser also honors three individuals who helped shape the performing arts in Wilson: John Helms, who built many sets over the years; Jim Fitzgerald, often found behind the light board at the Boykin Center; and Phil Singer, a devoted audience member and theater advocate with a strong understanding of the financial needs of the arts.
