Theater lovers, take note: while fall is only just beginning, the chance to snap up one-of-a-kind experiences (hint-hint for gifting season!) is already upon us. That's because this week, Black Theatre United and Charitybuzz have teamed up for a special auction.

"Our mission at Black Theatre United is inclusion, opportunity, and representation in every aspect of the theatre community through mentoring and town halls in concert with the show business industry. We want to insure there is policy to incorporate all that’s needed for equality," singer, actress, and Black Theatre United co-founder Vanessa Williams tells T&C.

Charitybuzz Chief Creative Officer Jan Friedlander Svendsen added, "Charitybuzz is privileged to work with and support Black Theatre United in their quest for equity and diversity on Broadway stages and behind-the-scenes. The founders of this organization really do the work as evidenced by the many experiential auctions donated by the founders of BTU."

Among the highly covetable offerings are can't-miss opportunities for theater lovers. Think: in-person and one-on-one experiences like a private dinner for eight with Williams, a private masterclass on song performance from six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald, a virtual meeting with the iconic Billy Porter and tickets to the premiere of his new show, Our Son, as well as personalized messages from the likes of Anna Deveare Smith and Wendell Pierce, tickets to shows like Suzan-Lori Parks's Topdog/Underdog and Kimberly Akimbo, theater experiences including tickets and accommodations to see A Soldier's Play at the Kennedy Center, and much more.

If you want to snag these amazing experiences, you'll have to hurry—the auction officially closes on October 6.
