Everybody benefits from The Public Theatre’s Silent Auction:
- Your business will get valuable exposure to almost 2,000 theatre patrons who will attend the show and view the Auction. Donations can introduce customers to your business, as well as bring them directly to your door, when they purchase your item or Gift Certificate. Our bid sheets display your business name, location, web address and phone number. We are also happy to display your business cards and/or brochures alongside your donation during the Auction.
- Patrons get fabulous deals on great merchandise and Gift Certificates from local businesses, while feeling good about supporting The Public Theatre.
- Everyone gets great theatre at an affordable price. With probably the lowest ticket prices for Professional Theatre in the entire country, you can see high quality theatre right in your own backyard and without breaking the bank.

April 29 – May 12 The Public Theatre will present our ANNUAL Silent Auction and we are inviting you to be a part of it!
Vacation trips, gift certificates, coveted products and crafts—our silent auction has it all, thanks to the generous support of businesses and individuals in our community.
ONLINE bidding starts APRIL 29th and a selection of items will be featured in the lobby during run of Lunenburg, May 3-12.
The Silent Auction is our single largest fundraiser. Support The Public Theatre by donating an item or service to be auctioned off.
The Public Theatre will always give you the best value in professional theatre.
