(TUSCALOOSA, AL) – Theatre Tuscaloosa’s online fundraising event, “Lights, Camera, Auction,” will be available March 3-5, 2016, via Facebook (www.facebook.com/theatretusc).

The online auction will consist of items donated from local vendors and individuals in the Tuscaloosa community and surrounding areas. Items will be posted on Theatre Tuscaloosa’s Facebook page for potential bidders to view before the auction album goes live.

Donated items for the auction include artwork by artists Paul K. Looney and John Paul Snead, memorabilia from past Theatre Tuscaloosa shows, a signed football from Nick Saban, and much more.

To participate in the auction, bidders must navigate to the “Lights, Camera, Auction” photo album on Theatre Tuscaloosa’s Facebook page, and place a bid amount into the comment box on the photo of the item(s) on which they would like to bid. Bidding begins at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 3, and will end at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 5. All auction proceeds will benefit the artistic mission of Theatre Tuscaloosa - to provide quality theatrical experiences to the people of West Alabama on stage, behind the scenes, and in the audience.

The bidder making the highest bid before the auction closes will be the winner of that item. However, bids must not be deleted or edited once placed. Winners will be contacted to make payment/delivery arrangements the week following the auction.

Payments can be made in person at the Ticket Office, mailed to Theatre Tuscaloosa, or by phone at 205.391.2277. Items may be picked up at the Ticket Office during regular business hours, however, if the winner is unable to pick up in person, the item can be shipped at cost.
