Here’s What We’ve Got Planned!

We’d love for you to join us as we bring our Stone Soup community together to celebrate all we’ve accomplished and support all that we’re fixin’ to do in our 2026/27 season!

2026/27 Season Preview!

We’ll be presenting short scenes from each of the shows in our sixth season, giving you a taste of what’s to come and, hopefully, leaving you wanting more. With all of our stage directors for the season in attendance, you’ll also have the chance to chat with them, learn about their vision for each production, ask questions, or simply introduce yourself.

The STONEY Awards!

We have a whole lot of wonderful people to be grateful for!

We’ll be honoring cast and crew members, voted on by those who worked on each production, who best embodied the spirit of Stone Soup’s values throughout last season: Community, Safety, Inclusivity, and Responsibility. We’ll also announce our Volunteer of the Year!

The Super Souper Soup Contest!

Our primary fundraiser for the evening is a soup-making contest, and you’re invited to be part of the fun!

We’ll be featuring four wonderful soups made by our community members — donate to choose your favorite! When we crown our champion, they’ll receive the coveted Golden Ladle (…okay, it’s brass, but it’s shiny!) along with a customized apron proclaiming them to be the one and only Super Souper.

As part of your ticket, you’ll get to sample all four soups before casting your vote for the winner. Each soup station will feature a special donation QR code and a tip jar. Every dollar donated equals one point, and the soup with the most points wins!

Which soup was your favorite? Which one best captured the spirit of its show? Donate as little or as much as you’d like. Every dollar goes directly toward supporting Stone Soup’s productions, operations, and community initiatives like our Pay What You Can performances.

Live Musical Theatre Karaoke!

We’ll round out the evening with musical entertainment provided by each other and for each other.

Our Music Director, Jo Sisk-Purvis, will be at the piano accompanying anyone brave enough to perform a favorite musical theatre number! We’ll have a big stack of music books to choose from, but you’re welcome to bring your own as well. Just be sure to bring sheet music for Jo to read.

Want to request a particular song from someone in the room? Slip a little something into our musical tip jar for Stone Soup and see if that helps persuade them!

Raffle Prizes!

Stone Soup founders Melissa and Jo have each put together a gift basket filled with some of their favorite things, and we’ll be raffling them off as our final fundraiser of the evening.  Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5.
