A note from the WOW committee: all of the WOW receptions and picnic have the same admittance price: a WOW button. One button gets you into three smashing opportunities to mingle with the cast, directors, company members, and your fellow GRSF fans. We are charging a button admittance this year for the WOW events so that the money raised from our sponsors, donors, and ticket sales can go into the things that make GRSF what it is: actors, sets, costumes, staff – the productions themselves! We are attempting to raise 10K to cover the cost of WOW events, food and beverages.
Special thanks to WinCraft for sponsoring our WOW buttons.

WOW Buttons–I see they can be purchased at the box office. Is this at the theatre? And can we buy them on Saturday afternoon so we can go to the reception at the Marine Art Museum? What time?
Or, can we purchase at the art museum?
Please reply–we’re looking forward to our weekend in Winona!!
WOW buttons are on sale both at the theater and at our office. Click here for a map to both.
Exciting! Like Donna, I’m wondering if we can buy WOW buttons at the EVENTS themselves? (At the reception tonight; at the museum on Saturday, the picnic on Sunday, etc . . .) ?
