The Indiana Repertory Theatre’s annual fundraising event, presented by Printing Partners, is back for an unforgettable evening of fun and excitement, all in support of arts and education! Celebrate the IRT while raising vital funds for high-quality theatre productions and transformative educational programs.

Step into the golden age of radio with a hilarious 1940s-style radio show (think your favorite comedy podcast), starring Central Indiana leaders and celebrities as they lend their talents to this amusing performance. Enjoy delightful jingles performed by local voices, an incredible line up of silent auction packages, and delicious nibbles and an open bar—all while supporting the IRT’s artistic initiatives and outreach efforts.

This year’s theme, Disorder in the Court: Beyond a Reasonable Plot, promises a can’t-miss night of fun and mayhem. Prepare to laugh at the “objections” and “sustained” moments of hilarity as our cast lays down the “law” of laughter. This event will be “on the docket” as the most entertaining night of the year!

You will want to sign up for access to the Evidence Locker (aka Silent Auction), where you can “deliberate” and bid on an incredible selection of items and experiences. The auction will open soon! Once you register, you’ll be notified the moment the “gavel drops,” so you can prepare your case and lay down your bids like a pro in the courtroom!

New this year: A chance to win a premium starter bar, courtesy of Payless Liquors! With each entry, you’ll also receive a voucher for an upcoming 24-25 production. Don’t miss the opportunity to “preside” over your gatherings with this unique prize and enjoy a future night at the theatre!
