Due to the pandemic, the Gateway School for the Performing Arts has seen donations drop significantly. And closing the doors to the acting school is a real possibility. Once the students found out that their "happy place" was in trouble, they put together a campaign that raised thousands of dollars for the school. This gigantic effort by the kids is inspiring the community to dig deep and donate at a time when funds are hard to come by.

Tony Award winning Kinky Boots, the huge-hearted hit musical, tells the story of two people with absolutely nothing in common—or so they think! Charlie is a factory owner while Lola is a fabulous entertainer. With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible. Featuring 16 original songs by Cyndi Lauper, and a book by Harvey Fierstein, this joyous sensation “struts its stuff with sparkle, stilettos and heart.”
