Over the past 40 years, Gateway as seen thousands of live performances on our stage, as well as generations of young people passing through our Academy to gain an education in performing arts and a sense of confidence in themselves. Our goal is to ensure that theatre arts continue to thrive and be a voice for our community.
Gateway’s 40th Anniversary Silent Auction is a fundraiser, in collaboration with Ruby Reflections, our 40th Anniversary Gala, to raise $15,000 to support our Young Artists Development Program. This online silent auction will run from 8AM on March 1, 2025 to 11PM on March 8, 2025, and has over 70 different items to bid on! From gift certificates, experiences, specialty items and more, there’s something for everyone and all ages in our collection of items, donated generously to Gateway Theatre from many local businesses.
Gateway Theatre strives to be a stage where we can learn from each other, see ourselves represented, and take pride in our rich cultural landscape. The Young Artists Development Program will allow us to support local emerging young artists including actors, directors, and choreographers, through hands-on experience and mentorship, as well as supporting scholarships to our Academy.
We look forward to your support of our 40-year legacy of artistic exploration and community impact in Richmond and beyond.
