Get Ready for the Depot Theatre Gala Celebration

Get ready for the Depot Theatre Gala Benefit on Saturday, August 10, celebrating the Depot Theatre’s 35th Anniversary!

The Annual Gala Benefit is the Depot Theatre’s primary fundraising event, consisting of live and silent auctions, dinner, dancing, and special recognition of supporters and volunteers. The event is held in various locations around Westport, New York, each year. All proceeds support the Depot Theatre.

This year they’ll be at the beautiful & unique DaCy Meadow Farm, featuring locally-sourced farm-to-table food prepared by acclaimed Chef Kevin McCarthy.

Audience Services Intern, Hillary True-Palmer, says, “Since I arrived in Westport, people have told me about the delicious dinners and brunches at DaCy Meadow Farm. We’re so lucky to have a special night there just to celebrate the Depot!”

This year the theme of the gala is fairies and fairytales in honor of the third Depot show of the summer: Funked Up Fairytales!

Join Depot staff, actors, and theatre lovers for the most special night of the summer as they celebrate the magic of 35 years of the Depot Theatre! Keep an eye on the Gala Facebook page to find out sponsors as they are announced, and get sneak peeks at auction items and more.
