This Gala marks a pivotal moment for High Tide Theatrical.

In just a few short years, High Tide has become known for producing bold, intimate theatre that sparks conversation, centers underrepresented voices, and invites audiences into meaningful connection. As our community has grown, so has the responsibility to ensure this work is not only daring—but sustainable.

The High Tide Gala is both a celebration of how far we’ve come and an investment in what comes next.

Funds raised during the evening will support the foundational needs that make our work possible: licensing rights, production materials, and the infrastructure required to continue producing high-quality, artist-centered theatre. These are the essential resources that allow High Tide to plan responsibly, program boldly, and remain accessible to the community we serve.

Guests will enjoy an evening that reflects the heart of High Tide, including:

Performances inspired by some of our most beloved and talked-about productions
Awards recognizing the extraordinary volunteers who help make our work possible
A presentation of High Tide’s strategic plan, offering a clear and exciting look at our vision for growth
Full Dinner and a cash bar
A members-only happy hour with live entertainment

No other theatre company in Southwest Missouri is producing work quite like High Tide—work that pushes boundaries, builds empathy, and reflects the beautifully diverse world we live in. This Gala is an invitation to gather with fellow supporters, artists, and community leaders who believe in the power of theatre to shape culture and strengthen community.

Join us for an evening that honors the past, celebrates the present, and helps found the future of High Tide Theatrical.
