Third Avenue Playhouse of Sturgeon Bay Hosts Fundraiser Event

Third Avenue Playhouse will present a fundraiser event on Saturday, April 16. The fun will begin at 6 pm with refreshments in the back room addition of the theater followed by Laugh Your Taxes Off, featuring the stand-up comedy of Mike Mercury and Roger Radley at 7:30 pm.

Currently under renovation, the theater is raising money to convert the back room addition to a versatile, multi-purpose space which will facilitate fundraising events and function as a small studio theater.
