🎭 The Stage Door is open ✨

Picture this: a table for four right up on OUR historic stage. Six remarkable singer-songwriters mere feet from you, sharing the stories behind the songs, maybe a glass of wine with the people you love. That’s the Stage Door Cabaret Series, all season long.

And the wallet-loving part: the full six-show series is $189.50 per seat, all fees folded in. That’s a $77.50 savings per seat over single tickets 🍷

Annual Fund members, your early access opens TODAY, June 2. General sale follows on June 9.
