The event will include performances by the leads in the theatre’s three summer musicals, “Breaking Up is Hard to Do,” “Grand Night for Singing,” and “Hello Dolly.” In addition there will be backstage tours, hors d’oeuvres and champagne. Everyone gets a complimentary HART Hat, featuring the theatre’s new logo design.

All proceeds will support the theatre’s building fund. The group had hoped to see its new second stage well under construction by now but delays in finalizing design plans, building permits and the construction loan have kept the project in a holding pattern. HART remains undeterred, and is using the delay as a chance to raise more funds so they have to borrow less money down the road. HART has raised over $700,000 towards the $1 million project and is working to close the gap. 

Tickets for the event are a $35 donation per person.
