Maria Godsey is a REALTOR® with Keller Williams, an author, and an active volunteer.

“We’re excited for this year’s Gala for Education and Access and the opportunity it creates for raising tomorrow’s future performers and theater lovers. We’ve found the performing arts and TheatreSquared so powerful in the impact it’s had on our family—the conversations it’s generated, the emotions we’ve experienced, and the memories we’ve created. Join us for this Gala to help every child experience the beauty, magic, and power of the performing arts.”
