Sponsored by Paul Todd Charities, previous Illuminated Shows have been Christmas Spectaculars. Illuminated shows are unique, because they incorporate special lighting that is sound activated and moves with the rhythm and style of the music. This year’s show will feature full Broadway numbers with spectacular lighting, performances by amazing singers, musicians and dance troupes. This Show is the largest show to date, with over 75 performers coming together to celebrate Broadway Classics, and raise funds for specific Southwest Florida Charitable organizations. Ticket buyers can designate which charity from the list below they would like to support either by purchasing the tickets online and typing in a code for their choice, or mentioning it when they purchase tickets by phone. Fifty percent of each ticket purchased will be donated to the charity of their choice. Depending on how many Corporate Sponsors help underwrite the costs of the show, additional grants to Charity may be given as well. Anyone interested in becoming a sponsor please call Dawn or Patty at 239-297-2135. Corporate Sponsors will be listed in all advertising in the media.
