For years, ’Twas the Night has brought together our generous sponsors, donors and patrons in support of Theatre Orangeville’s mission. Together, we’ve celebrated the power of live theatre while helping ensure Canadian stories continue to be told, young artists discover their passion, and audiences of all ages have a place to gather, connect and belong.

Now, our annual premiere fundraising event is entering its next act.

We are proud to introduce Spotlight, an exciting evolution of this cherished tradition. More than a new name, Spotlight reflects the enduring spirit of this event while celebrating everything your generosity makes possible, shining a light on Canadian stories, emerging artists, youth, inclusion, and the generous community whose support makes it all possible.

A Reimagined Experience

This year, Spotlight takes on an exciting new format as a Sunday afternoon luncheon, creating an opportunity for even more of our community partners, sponsors, patrons and supporters to come together in celebration.

Replacing the traditional Saturday evening gala, this elegant afternoon offers the same warmth, entertainment and excitement guests have come to expect, reimagined in a relaxed and welcoming setting that encourages connection and conversation.

Guests will enjoy a beautifully prepared three-course luncheon while experiencing captivating live performances by Theatre Orangeville artists and special guests from the Canadian theatre industry. The afternoon will also feature exciting silent and live auctions, along with the return of our much-loved Buy Your Bauble draw, featuring a signature piece generously donated by Gallery Gemma.

And that’s just the beginning. More performers, special guests and unique experiences will be announced in the weeks ahead, making Spotlight an unforgettable afternoon in support of Theatre Orangeville.

‍The Impact of Your Support

Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship secured and every donation received helps Theatre Orangeville continue to:

• Produce exceptional Canadian theatre.
• Champion Canadian playwrights, artists and theatre professionals.
• Inspire creativity and confidence through our Academy camps, youth programming and workshops.
