Since 2020, Lifeline Theatre has faced rising expenses due to inflation and our commitment to pay equity. Despite our 42-year history of excellence, these costs have resulted in a deficit budget. Our Spring Benefit gave us a strong start, but we need to meet a larger fundraising goal to launch our new season. We now turn to our community to help us reach $200,000.
