This year, The Rep’s Leading Ladies are coming together to sponsor Race on The Rep’s Mainstage, February 8 - March 4, 2012. With your help, Leading Ladies’ efforts will support the work of our only female director this season, Timothy Near, in a production that discusses an important issue for everyone, but especially for women. This play will inspire meaningful discussion - what theatre is meant to do! Click here for more information on Race.
The Leading Ladies Committee has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $50,000 for this year’s Leading Ladies sponsorship of Race and has already raised $45,668 toward that goal. If you would like to support The Rep through this effort and would like to be contacted, please email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or phone her at (314) 968-7340 ext. 230.
