Come in from the cold and into the glow. Your night at the Liberty:

6:00 PM · Check-in. Arrive, get your paddle, and find your people.

Cocktail Jingle Bell Mingle. Hors d'oeuvres and libations with neighbors, artists, and friends.

An original holiday show. Written and performed for this night only: songs, stories, and surprises from Wood River Rep.

Paddle Up. Our community comes together in real time to fund the season. No auction, no bidding. Just raise your paddle at the level that feels right.

This is what it costs to make theatre in the Valley.

Ticket sales cover a fraction of what it takes to bring a show to life. The rest comes from people like you.

Your gift pays the actors, designers, directors, and stage managers who bring each production to life. It builds the sets and sews the costumes. It houses the artists who travel here. It puts professional teaching artists in Wood River High School classrooms and a paid apprentice on every mainstage. It opens our doors to free community programs.

What we feel together in that room is community and connection. Please help us keep it going.

Where it goes: productions, operating, education, and community enrichment.

Every paddle has a job to do. Choose your level, raise your paddle, and see exactly what you make possible. If you are unable to join us in person, we hope you feel inspired to participate and help support the company.
