Starlight Gala

About the fundraiser

Held on the Opening Night of our final show of the season, Starlight Gala is an annual fundraiser that celebrates our local community, the performing arts, and our programming.

Along with an incredible meal from partnering downtown restaurants and an exceptional live performance, guests get to witness first-hand the announcement of the upcoming season’s playbill. This year, we will be announcing the shows for our 30th ANNIVERSARY SEASON - a night not to be missed!

As a not-for-profit, Theatre Orangeville relies heavily on the incredible support of our community. Starlight Gala plays a significant role in helping to raise funds to support our playwrights, local artists, youth programs and inclusive programming supporting our neuro diverse community.

New This Year!! At the time of booking, you will only need to select what restaurant you wish to dine at. Menu selections can be made that night directly at the restaurant of choice. Each meal comes with one (1) glass of wine, your appetizer and entrée.
