Arts & Entertainment Silent Auction

At Yankee Tavern last night, I saw a single drip fall downstage center, and was reminded how important it is to support Riverwalk's Shout it to the Rooftop campaign. (Manager Mike told me they had to empty water out of one of the audience chairs before the show; there's more than one leak in the black box-- and other places around the building.) 
We —meaning YOU, the greater lansing ubiquitous theatre-goers and performers — need that new roof -- and new furnace/air conditioning -- and electrical upgrade! Protect our investment in community theatre for all. You can make a donation/pledge of any size any time -- write a check or make an easy donation at the website riverwalktheatre.com -- AND/OR make plans NOW to attend this fancy, fun, sugar-and-goodies-filled event:
