Kidding Around - GRIT's 40th Anniversary fundraiser

Calling all Friends of GRIT!

GRIT is partnering with Rapid Fire Theatre to bring you our 40th Anniversary "Kidding Around" fundraiser! Rapid Fire Theatre's hilarious performers create this entire show right off the top of their heads. But, in order to pull it off, they're going to need help from all the kids in the audience. In this show, kids are invited to shout out suggestions and participate. The performers will be inclusive and responsive to multiple ways children may communicate.

This event will include a silent auction before and after the show, with each item making a perfect holiday gift. There will also be a face painter! All funds raised go directly to services for children and families at GRIT.

• Doors open at 12:30 PM
