There’s Gnome

Place Like Home

WSD Spring Gala

March 21, 2026
7:00-10:00 pm

A Night That
Shapes Tomorrow

The Gnome Place Like Home Gala invites you into an immersive theater experience unlike any other; an evening where the lines between audience and story gently blur, and surprises unfold around every corner. Hosted at The Bit Theater, guests will be drawn into moments of intrigue, laughter, and discovery that spark curiosity and delight.

As the mystery reveals itself throughout the night, so does the heart of our community. Through shared experiences, spirited auctions, and acts of generosity, we gather to support the Waldorf School of DuPage and the inspired education that shapes our children’s lives.

This evening is an opportunity to engage your imagination, connect with one another, and contribute to a future filled with creativity, purpose, and possibility.
