You can inspire women and girls to believe in themselves

We are honored community star Helga Bauerly has chosen GREAT Theatre as her charity for the 2022 Women’s Fund of the Central Minnesota Community Foundation’s Dancing with Our Stars competition. She will be dancing with professional dancer Jerome Akubue. Together, they are raising funds and dancing for Girl Power via the Arts!

It’s easy to give to an organization who means so much and does so much good for so many! I’ve been hooked since my girls participated on stage. I’m also very passionate about the work the Women’s Fund of Central Minnesota does. I want to inspire my daughters and other girls to step outside their comfort zone while raising money for the  ‘Girl Power via the Arts!’ program for GREAT.

We support GREAT Theatre because we believe the artistic experiences GREAT offers will not only help bring us through these challenging times, but will bring us through to something that is ultimately better — a stronger, more aware, more connected and engaged community.

We are proud to be a corporate partner of GREAT Theatre and will do what we can to ensure it remains an active and strong presence in our community. Please join us.

We believe the arts will help heal our community from the divisions we have experienced in the past year.  GREAT makes this community a great place to live and we want to ensure GREAT comes back as strong, if not stronger, than before.  The opportunities provided by GREAT, both on and off stage, are critical to Central Minnesota, and we want to be part of that community.

Live theatre draws the community together.  We are so fortunate to experience this locally and share these experiences as a family.  We continue to support GREAT Theatre so that our family and many others can continue these experiences for years to come.
