AUBURN — Lewiston/Auburn Community Little Theatre will host its inaugural Race to the Stage 5K, a family-friendly, untimed fun run, at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 2.
The 3.1-mile event will begin and end at CLT’s home on 30 Academy St. Along the course, CLT members will appear in costume to entertain and encourage participants.
“This is a very family friendly event,” CLT President John Blanchette said. “Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a runner, but I will at least be walking it. And if I can do it, anybody can do it.”
CLT’s goal for this event is to engage local families, runners, walkers and friends of the theater interested in supporting local arts. When registering, participants have the option to set a personal fundraising goal and set up their own fundraising page to collect donations and pledges in support of CLT’s upcoming 82nd season.
CLT board member and development committee member Becca Tinkham said, “This event is not only a small step back into entertaining each other, but also a fundraising endeavor to help alleviate some of the financial stress our theater has experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic closure.”
Fundraising events like this 5K are what enable CLT to annually produce five main-stage shows and two youth/teen productions, as well as provide educational programs to people of all ages here in L-A.
Registration is open now through Sept. 30 at www.laclt.com.
