The Hugh-kulele-run-a-thon
We're thrilled to announce the first-ever Hugh-kulele-run-a-thon. Hugh Neilson, our Managing DIrector, will be running his first full marathon while playing the ukulele, all to raise $10,000 for our beloved theatre.
To get a glimpse of what Hugh's training looks like and to witness his determination firsthand, check out the video below:
