Thanks to TotU for passing on the disturbing news from GALA:

“GALA Theatre was hacked on January 11 & our bank account was emptied.

We have not been able to pay the artists & crew working to bring audiences the world premiere of “The Palacios Sisters,” scheduled to open Feb 1st.

DONATE HERE”

Thanks for your support!

The bank tells us the process to recover the over $250,000 withdrawn from our account may take up to 8 months. By then, GALA will be dead.

We need your support now to pay our artists & open our production. Please consider donating to our Emergency Fund”
