“It was a tremendous evening filled with overwhelming community spirit and support,” said YES Theatre artistic and managing director Alessandro Costantini, in a press release.

“With beautiful moments from over 50 artists, business owners and arts organizations throughout our community. A true celebration of the arts and a shining example of the generous citizens that make up our great city.”
