At Maples Rep’s annual fundraiser, Boots and Black Tie, you’ll be wined and dined while helping to raise money for the theatre. Rubey Street in front of the theatre is closed down for the day and tents are erected. The tents hold a fabulous buffet with live entertainment, while the theatre lobby features wine tasting and a silent auction of many artistic and handmade items. The evening’s highlight is a live auction with bidders taking home unique and valuable items donated to the cause.
