All proceeds of the Bear Stage and all additional proceeds from bear and sweater sales will support Childsplay’s BENJAMIN FUND. This fund supports a free ticket program for Arizona’s charities and schools that work with economically disadvantaged and disabled children and families. We are committed to this effort to make theatre accessible to all children, regardless of their family’s means.
