The winning bidder is entitled to attend the GRAND OPENING of the rebuilt Lebowsky Center in the Shiawassee performing Arts Center on Friday, May 9, 2014.

This includes the Donor's Reception & Ribbon Cutting at 6:30 pm,  Two (2) orchestra Section Tickets to SHREK, the MUSICAL! as performed by the Owosso Community Players, AND an invitation to the After Curtain Call Champagne Reception with cast and crew.

In existence since 1952, the Owosso Community Players has enriched peoples’ lives by providing quality theatre arts experiences. OCP is the only community-based performing arts organization in rural Shiawassee County. Its programs create opportunities for theatre arts experience for people of all ages, and all social and economic backgrounds.  Everyone has the opportunity to participate in OCP productions – from acting, orchestral and singing performances to set design, construction, lighting and sound, to front and back office support, and as an appreciative audience.

The reconstructed theater and enhanced OCP programming will have a major and longstanding community impact.  Prior to the devastating fire, the Lebowsky Center was the largest drawing venue in the city.  OCP’s performances helped support many of the surrounding businesses and invigorated the central business district.  The rebuilt theater will serve as an anchor in the redevelopment of an historic business and entertainment district with strength and vitality.
