Time is Running Out to Support The Phantom Cabaret Gala For The Arts!
The Phantom Cabaret Gala for The Arts Needs Community Support to Keep Live Theatre ALIVE in Orange County - Support This Amazing Nonprofit!

As the clock ticks down to the Phantom Cabaret Gala for The Arts, the only annual fundraiser for The Phantom Projects Theatre at La Habra Depot and programming for The Phantom Projects Theatre Group, the community's support is needed more than ever to keep the magic of live theatre alive for underserved students and families throughout Orange County. The Phantom Projects Theatre at La Habra Depot is gearing up for its annual fundraising gala on Saturday, August 3rd, and there’s still time to join in and contribute to a cause that extends far beyond the city limits of La Habra.
While the recently renovated historical landmark theatre is based in La Habra, its impact ripples across neighboring communities, including Cerritos and Artesia. Many students from these areas have benefited from the theatre's inclusive programs, performing arts summer camp, community school field trip performances, and at-risk youth and community programming, which offer free and low-cost performing arts education. These programs provide a vital creative outlet and educational resource for students who might not otherwise have access to the arts.
This year's gala promises an unforgettable evening, with La Habra Mayor Daren Nigsarian as one of the keynote speakers. The event will feature live performances, a Roaring 20’s cabaret theme, and a silent auction supported by several local businesses. This special night is a celebration of community and culture, highlighting the theatre's role in enriching the lives of local youth and families through quality live theatre.

The Importance of Community Support
The Phantom Projects Theatre Group serves over 35,000 students each season, tackling important youth issues through thought-provoking performances. They work with 151 schools across 76 cities, including those in the Cerritos and Artesia areas. Their mission is to make the arts accessible to everyone, offering programs like a free performing arts summer camp for ages 8-18, pay-what-you-can performances, ASL-interpreted shows, and sensory-friendly productions.
The continuation of these vital programs depends heavily on the support from the community. The gala is not just a fundraiser; it’s an opportunity for the community to come together and ensure the future of these enriching cultural experiences. Donations and sponsorships are crucial to keeping the theatre’s doors open and its programs accessible.
