30th BIRTHDAY BASH

ft. our 2022/23 season kick off, games, prizes, and more

Aug 21, 2022
Urban Growler Brewing

 

YOU’RE INVITED!

Because Theater Mu began in 1992, for our 30th Birthday Bash, we’re taking it back to the ‘90s! Join us for our family-friendly fundraiser on Aug 21 in Saint Paul—we’ll have carnival games, a restaurant raffle, food truck, and more. We can’t not have a birthday cake, but before we blow out the candles, we’ll also have a short program reflecting on our past victories, envisioning our future, and officially kicking off our 2022/23 season. We hope to see you there!

TICKETS

To keep our event as accessible as possible, Theater Mu is using PAY AS YOU ARE (PAYA) pricing. PAYA asks those who routinely pay $60 for event tickets to choose to pay that amount; it is the actual fair market value of the ticket. If a guest needs to pay less, they can choose to do so—as little as $30 per ticket. Special price levels for our 30th Birthday Bash are for children ages 5-12 ($10) and children ages 4 and below (free).

Your ticket includes:

  • entry into Mu’s 30th Birthday Bash (of course)

  • one entree voucher for Kham Fu Dee food truck

  • two drink vouchers for Urban Growler’s alcoholic or nonalcoholic beverages

  • a free five-game punch card for the fun fair

COVID-19 PROTOCOL

Face masks must be worn during the indoor portion of the fundraiser unless you are eating or drinking.

ATTIRE

Get out your ‘90s gear! While you don’t have to wear something special, just know that if you do want to don your preppy plaid, jean overalls, or tracksuit, you won’t be alone. Plus, you’ll be entered into our Best Dressed contest, which comes with its own fabulous prize!

If you don’t want to freestyle an outfit (or you want to accessorize), learn more about the designs and designers behind our 30th birthday merch.
