Spring Fundraiser

Support our Spring Fundraiser, the remount of our Winter 2025 Teen Production of The Phantom of the Opera, presented by Our Lady of Lourdes Women's and Children's Hospital! Join us March 22nd and 23rd at the Heymann Center!

The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command. Over 2,000 tickets have already been sold - get yours today!

As we prepare to bring this production to a larger audience, we are seeking sponsors who share our commitment to nurturing young talent. Your partnership will not only ensure the success of this production but also provide invaluable support for arts education and youth development. Consider becoming a champion of the arts today!

Another way businesses and individuals can support this cause is through the purchase of a Playbill Ad. Here is a donation letter and physical order form that can be used to purchase. There’s also an online order form here. These programs will receive anywhere between 2,000 and 6,000 views from our audiences, which is a wonderful outreach opportunity for any business!

If you or someone you know might be interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact Tiffany Hochkeppel at tiffany@cytlafayette.org with any questions. We would love to discuss how your support can make a meaningful impact on CYT Lafayette!
