The money will be going toward the new Emergency Women’s Shelter that will be breaking ground this spring.

Executive Director of Waypoints, Michele Taylor says that the partnership between Waypoints and Theatre; Just Because to produce this event for the second year has been a massive success.

“We are so thrilled to work with Theatre; Just because — these folks are so passionate about the work that we do and we are very grateful that they bring their talents in this way to support us,” said Taylor.
