The Harris Family will host a fund raising dinner on August 22nd at their local restaurant Perennials.

Tickets must be purchased in advanced and will not be sold at the door
of the red carpet event. If you would like to buy tickets, you can call
Musical Theatre Southwest at 265-9119.
“The fire devastated the theatre company, but we have been amazed
at the outpouring of community support, including the generosity of Neil’s
family,” said board member Rick Huff, who has worked with the theatre
company for more than 40 years.
“Many New Mexico families literally grew up seeing and participating in
the productions of the theatre company. It’s so moving to see them come
back and support MTS after this tragedy,”
- William Stafford, of Musical Theatre Southwest.
