What is departure?

We give you a trip. You give kids a chance. Put a little art in your depARTure through PLT’s annual travel raffle.

While no attendance is necessary to win, the night is full of live performances, exclusive auction items, and dazzling surprises - all on theme and all to support arts education.

Arts education is a critical component of our mission at Pensacola Little Theatre. While not every child goes on to pursue Broadway or acting full-time, the fundamental skillset learned by being exposed to theatre is carried with our students throughout their lives: traits like self-confidence, public speaking, sense of differing viewpoints and perspective, teamwork, collaboration, and the ability to put yourself in other people’s shoes to think outside the box.
