Lights, Camera, Auction! is our annual online fundraiser. It often features dozens of items such as props and signed posters from our past productions, handmade crafts by local artists, luxurious jewelry, fabulous experiences, and much more.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I bid on items?
Click here to visit the 2024 auction page (hosted by 32 Auctions) to see what amazing items we'll have up for auction. You will need to create an account in order to place your own bid or a proxy bid when the auction is live (March 28-31, 2024). If you bid in last year's auction, you may already have an account. Be sure to add your cell phone number to your profile to get a text anytime you're outbid! While the auction is live, you may place bids on each item you'd like to win. At the end of the bidding period, the winning bids will be displayed. We will contact winners via the email address they provided on the website to notify them of the items they won, make payment arrangements, and arrange pick-up.
What kinds of payments do you take?
Everything! Well, not bitcoin. But everything else! Cash, check, and all major credit cards are accepted.
How do I get my stuff once I've paid for it?
Easy! You can stop by the Theatre Tuscaloosa ticket office to pick it up. For all smaller items, we can send them to you or someone of your choice (shipping is not included and must be paid separately at cost).
Why should I bid on these items?
Because they are amazing! But also because all proceeds go to help support all of the equally amazing productions and programming here at Theatre Tuscaloosa, including our regular season shows, specially priced school matinee performances, and workshops.
