For the third and final time this year, Tuacahn Center for the Arts is pleased to partner with Dixie Care and Share in conjunction with an upcoming performance at the outdoor amphitheatre. Patrons who bring a bag of non-perishable food items to Tuacahn will save 40% on their ticket (one discounted ticket for each bag of donated food) to the performance of Aida on Tuesday, September 15. All food items will benefit Dixie Care and Share’s efforts to help those in need.

This is the 4th year that Tuacahn has sponsored the drive. In past years, Tuacahn has donated an average of 7100 pounds of food each season.

“It’s something that we enjoy doing,” says Kevin Smith, Tuacahn’s CEO. “It gives people the opportunity to participate in giving service to those in need, our patrons enjoy a great discount to a quality production, and we fill our theater seats.”

From it’s two previous charity events this year, Tuacahn’s donations to the Dixie Care and Share have reached 4,855 pounds.

Kara Coop, director of the Dixie Care and Share, says the food bank was appreciative of the donations received last year. “We’re always overwhelmed by the abundance of food we receive from Tuacahn’s drives. Last year, the truck was so weighed down I thought the tires would pop.”

Tuacahn’s current productions are Annie, Footloose and Aida which will show until October 17. For more information, contact the Tuacahn Box Office by calling 800-746-9882 or 435-652-3300 or visit www.tuacahn.org.
