Three guitars. Three signatures. One month to bid. The Playhouse has put signed instruments from Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, and Natalie Merchant up for silent auction, and the Collins and Merchant guitars were signed backstage right here in Ridgefield. Every item comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, so what you take home is the real thing.

Bidding is open through noon on Wednesday, September 30. Browsing costs nothing, and the money raised does real work: the Playhouse is a nonprofit, ticket sales only cover part of what it takes to keep the lights on, and auctions like this one close the gap. A collectible for your wall, a little more oxygen for the theater down the street.
