GIVE BACK

Event and show ticket sales comprise only 40% of Sideshow’s budget. The remaining 60% of revenue comes from the generosity of those who believe in us and our work. The impact of your significant support in the last few years cannot be overstated. It is the fuel that keeps Sideshow running.
