Since its opening in 2005, Manship Theatre has been a Baton Rouge staple, exposing residents to unique facets of arts and culture through music, dance, theatre and film. But, the team at Manship can’t do it all themselves.
The theater is a not-for-profit facility and tonight, April 12, it’s hosting the annual Red Carpet Gala fundraiser. Funds raised will help the theater continue efforts to provide the highest standard of performance excellence, along with a plethora of educational opportunities.
The event will begin with a cocktail reception and silent auction. Afterward, Wynonna & the Big Noise will perform.
