The Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction will hold its first theater fundraising event, An Evening of Broadway, on Wednesday, August 17 at 7 p.m. The event is family-friendly, and tickets range from $20-$30. Individuals are also invited to sponsor a seat for $20 per child to allow children from the Boys and Girls Club to attend at no cost. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at or in person at the box office at 609 Main St., Laconia, Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. “We are very excited to be collaborating with local community theater groups to create this fundraising event,” stated Jennifer Kelley, the Auction’s executive director. We are also thrilled to give kids in need the ability to attend the show at no cost with our Sponsor a Seat initiative.” “Our area is robust with talent, and we are eager to showcase it. The show will offer musical performances of all ages from local community theater groups, including Franklin Footlight Theatre, One Light Theatre, Pittsfield Players, Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative, and Streetcar Company. This event is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Bank of New Hampshire and MB Tractor. Jessica Alward, a longtime community theater performer, said, “The Children’s Auction makes a significant impact for low-income kids in the area. Many children have had the chance to participate in theater only because of the Auction. We are thrilled to be able to give just a little bit back through this event. There will be at least five local community theaters represented in the show and all those talented Lakes Region performers will have the chance to share one big stage!” The mission of the Children’s Auction is to engage the community to financially support children in need with a vision to ensure that every child is empowered to succeed and positively impact a thriving Greater Lakes Region community.
