FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE….

TREASURES BY THE TRAX TO BENEFIT CULTURAL ARTS MAY 18, 2013 – 8:00 A.M.
Theatre by the Trax, 1000 Osborne Road, St. Marys, Georgia

ST. MARYS, GA—Three organizations have joined forces to raise funds for performing arts in Coastal Georgia, and the public is invited to participate.

On May 18 at Theatre by the Trax in St. Marys, Georgia, Coastal Georgia Film Alliance and St. Marys Little Theatre will join with Theatre by the Trax to host what organizers are calling "The Mother of All Yard Sales."

Board members from all organizations encourage residents to take advantage of this opportunity to do their spring cleaning and get rid of excess clutter in their homes. Anyone can participate in the "Treasures by the Trax" events in three different ways: Reserve a free vendor space (donation of 20% of proceeds is requested); drop items at Theatre by the Trax ahead of time (to donate all proceeds), or just come and shop til you drop!

St. Marys Little Theatre vice chair L. J. Williams said, "This is a great opportunity for the public to contribute to the cultural landscape of our community while at the same time giving their home a good sprucing up."

According to Doug Vaught, chair of Coastal Georgia Film Alliance, the Alliance plans to use their portion of the funds to promote Coastal Georgia to the international film and television community. St. Marys Little Theatre will fund upcoming productions and children's programs with their portion of the proceeds.

"Often people forget the monetary requirements to keep performing arts alive," St. Marys Little Theatre chair Barbara Ryan said. "Besides costumes, lighting, staging, and props, there is also a need for promotional and educational materials to assure that the public is kept informed about events."

Treasures by the Trax organizers encourage the contribution or sale of furniture, home décor, jewelry, antiques, and collectibles for the day of the event. To reserve a space or arrange a drop-off time for contributions, call 912-552-5559.

St. Marys Little Theatre and Coastal Georgia Film Alliance are 501c3 nonprofit organizations.
