On Saturday, March 4, 2023, the SS First Stage will set sail for its 29th Annual Make Believe Ball at the Milwaukee City Center. Guests will cruise through a fun-filled evening inspired by THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES coming to First Stage’s stage this spring. With approximately 400 adults and children in attendance, the Make Believe Ball is the perfect opportunity for our community to provide crucial financial support of our organization. Families will enjoy kids’ activities, a silent and live auction, dinner, entertainment, dancing and more.

We invite you to support this event by donating to our silent auction! As an auction donor, you will receive the following recognition:

·         Donor name displayed on signage at the event 

·         Donor name displayed within the online bidding site

·         Social media highlights of auction donors

Proceeds from this event will support First Stage’s mission of touching hearts and transforming lives, providing professional Theater Productions that inspire, enlighten, and entertain; unparalleled Theater Academy training that fosters life skills through stage skills; and dynamic Theater in Education programs that promote active learning in our schools and community.
