Members, supporters and volunteers will join in celebration at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre annual gala, this year named Rep on the River. Part fundraiser, part show, part auction, part dinner party, the event is an important opportunity to showcase the range of programming The Rep offers to theater lovers of all ages, and raise critical funds to keep this performing arts gem thriving in downtown Portsmouth.

This year’s gala will be held adjacent to the theater at One Harbour Place overlooking the river and will still include backstage tours and a silent auction. Auction items range from fine wine, getaway packages, local art, jewelry and much more donated by the finest area merchants.

The Rep’s youth program, Portsmouth Academy of Performing Arts and its Teen Stage Ensemble will welcome guests and the resident acting company will perform selections from the 2014 season. Artistic Director, Craig Faulkner, promises a few surprises, too.

Rep on the River will be held rain or shine on May 15, 2014 at One Harbor Place, Bow St., Portsmouth and tickets are limited.  To Purchase Tickets please call the box office at (603) 433-4472 or visit the box office at 125 Bow Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801.
