A Night In New York
Experience the magic of New York City for just one night at Missed the Boat’s 2025 benefit cabaret! The night begins with hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and time to mingle with cast members and theater leadership as well as to bid on our silent auction. Then we’ll settle into the intimate black box theater for a selection of show tunes, full of shine and full of sparkle, that will have you dreaming of walking down Broadway. We’ll enter the world of New York through its many dreams and aspirations, and also reflect on the grittier realities of trying to make it in the big city!
This year’s cabaret will kick off our fundraising campaign for our 2025 season, give you a deeper dive into our mission, and offer an exclusive preview of our upcoming season and all the excitement it holds!
Tickets available on January 6th!

A Leap of Faith: Missed the Boat Theatre's 2025 Campaign
Since its formation in 2019, Missed the Boat Theatre has survived off of the passion and dedication of a chosen few, sacrificing countless hours of time after work and on the weekends to successfully produce high quality theatre productions with meaning. We launched our 2024-2025 season with our biggest investment yet: searching for and hiring dedicated staff members. This investment, while doubling our yearly expenditure, will enable us to pursue new endeavors that we are confident will offer long term stability and success for our organization.
We are taking a leap of faith to reach our goal of $100,000 during this year’s 2025 campaign, which will help fund an entire season of shows, retreats, classes, and new endeavors – will you join us?
