What's NExt
​Ready for some holiday spirit, with a side of stage lights? Our annual Holiday Hope project is hitting the stage this December in the form of a community stage play, All I Want for Christmas…. We’re trading our seriousness for some serious fun, and it's all for the kids. AND we've added the Jingle Bell Bazaar holiday shopping market.
Proceeds support children in DE Domestic Violence Shelters which allows us to meet winter needs and some of their holiday request.
​
Let's make some memories and some magic!​
​Every ticket, every laugh it all adds up to hope. 💜
