On September 27, 2018, our supporters were able to donate to SCEH while enjoying a night of theatre at the 2012 Tony award winning musical: Once.  SCEH provided cocktails under a tent next to the Ivoryton Playhouse and cast members joined the festivities after the show.  Many thanks to the Ivoryton Playhouse for making this possible.
