First Stage @ NextDoor

Join us on Thursday, September 23, 2010 from 4-8PM as NextDoor hosts "First Stage @ NextDoor," an evening of fun and fashion to benefit First Stage Children's Theater. Furthermore, beginning September 9, two weeks prior to the event, NextDoor shoppers will have the opportunity to participate in a one-of-a-kind silent auction in the store with donated items from local businesses and NextDoor. All proceeds from the auction will benefit First Stage.

NextDoor will also host a back to school sale during the silent auction and you can receive a great discount on a 2010-2011 First Stage subscription package. This is a perfect mother-daughter event and a fun girl's night out--so grab your girlfriends and daughters and head over to NextDoor to support First Stage Children's Theater!
