Mission Partners Hosts Virtual Sunday Supper and a Show Benefitting The Theatre Lab

WASHINGTON (April 22, 2020)–Mission Partners, a Bethesda based social impact communications firm, will host a Virtual Sunday Supper and a Show fundraiser to benefit The Theatre Lab on Sunday, April 26. Tickets are $15 and all proceeds will support The Theatre Lab — Washington, D.C.’s largest and most comprehensive independent, nonprofit school for the dramatic arts.

At its core, the virtual event’s theme is donation meets participation in a time of social isolation. As the DC community deals with the harsh realities of COVID-19, many people are looking to connect with each other while social distancing. The Theatre Lab is known for creating fun audience experiences and will use innovative techniques to entertain and engage guests during this virtual event. Prior to the show, participants are encouraged to order dinner from their favorite small business to help expand impact across the restaurant industry. 

“We look forward to sharing a meal, showcasing some terrific young artists, and creating an original choral poem with community members,” said Deb Gottesman, Co-Executive Director of The Theatre Lab.

Program Overview:

• 6:30-7:00 PM: Find your seats: Welcome and spotlight performance
• 7:00-8:00 PM: Showtime: Collaborative exercise led by Theatre Lab facilitators
• 8:00-8:15 PM: Intermission: Clear out dishes and refresh your drink
• 8:15-8:30 PM: Take a bow: Celebrate our creation 

“As our lives become increasingly reliant on digital connection, we hope this fundraiser will provide support for Theatre Lab programming while creating a meaningful shared experience for participants at home,” said Carrie Fox, Founder and CEO of Mission Partners. 

The event is family friendly and participants are encouraged to dress up from the waist up. Learn more and purchase a ticket here.
