“Not-for-Profits Helping Not-for-Profits”

Stage 43 would promote their partner organization’s cause and donate to them partial proceeds from tickets sold for the productions. The partner organizations have included Tri-City Transitions Society, Act 2 Child and Family Services, Honour House, and Kwikwetlem First Nation.
