Cass Weber is the board president of the Orphan Girl Children’s Theatre in Butte.

She is also a photographer, professional consultant, a wife and mother of two young children. She grew up in Hamilton, but has been living and working in Butte for about a decade.

Her passion is children. That is apparent with her work with the theatre, which has enhanced the lives and provided opportunity to so many talented boys and girls in the Mining City.

The OGT is not an exclusive group for the privileged. More than half of the children are on scholarship as they put on productions to entertain the community.

That is where Saturday’s Orphan Girl Children’s Theatre Gala comes in. The fundraiser, dubbed The Mad Hatter’s ParTea, will be held in the ball room adjacent to the theatre in the basement of the Mother Lode Theatre.

Tickets are just $35, and that includes dinner from some fine Butte establishments. Metals Sports Bar & Grill will provide a full bar for the event. The cocktail hour and live auction begin at 6 p.m., and Cass says the auction is flooded with great items with ranging price tags.

Go to orphangirl.org to get your tickets today. The price goes up to $40 at the door. Limited childcare is available for the event, which is billed as an 18-plus gala.

Prizes will be awarded for costumes, and each ticket holder who is present will be entered to win a $1,000 shopping spree.

Listen in to this podcast as Cass talks about her work with children in Butte. Listen as she describes the theatre, and the impact it has on our local children. Listen as she talks about the gala, which she describes as a date night without the outrageous cost of a date night.
