To the King’s Theatre, where we saw Midsummer’s Night’s dream, which I had never seen before, nor shall ever again, for it is the most insipid ridiculous play that ever I saw in my life

Jewel-Osco's Shop and Share seems like a good way for non-profit theatres to fund-raise. Basically, when a theatre's supporters shop at Jewel-Osco, a percentage of their purchases can go to the theatre. I know Appetite Theatre and The Playground Theatre have done this already.
