Storage Industry Pioneer Provides On-Site Storage for the 50th Annual Zilker Music Festival Presenting Disney's "Beauty and the Beast"
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 23, 2008 -- Door To Door Storage, Inc., a leading national provider of portable self-storage containers and moving services, announced that it has donated the use of storage containers to Zilker Theatre Productions for use during its 50th Annual Zilker Music Festival. Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" will be presented during the Festival.
Door To Door is donating all transportation and rental fees on a total of five mobile storage units starting in June and continuing through August. The portable self-storage containers will be located in the Beverly S. Sheffield Hillside Theater in Austin's Zilker Park where the production is shown.
"Our mission is to produce outstanding musical theatre that is free to all of Austin," said Bruce McCandless, president of Zilker Theatre Productions. "Because our production is outdoors, the donated containers from Door To Door Storage are a tremendous help. The containers enable us to protect costumes and props between performances. Donations such as this from our community members ensure that we can keep producing the Zilker Summer Musical and our additional outreach programs."
The Zilker Summer Musical, produced by Zilker Theatre Productions, is the longest running outdoor Broadway-caliber production with pay-what-you-wish admission in the United States today.
"Zilker Theatre Productions makes music, artistic expression and the Broadway experience available for every member of the Austin community," said Annette Jacobs, president and CEO, Door To Door Storage. "Door To Door Storage is proud to be a supporter of the Zilker Summer Musical. We believe in participating in the communities we do business in and are pleased to be able to play a part in this production."
The Zilker Summer Musical will feature Disney's Beauty and the Beast starting June 28 and running through August 9. Performances run Thursday through Sunday and start at sunset at approximately 8:30 p.m. Admission is free.
