We invite you to join us starting at 6:30 P.M. on September 11, 2010, opening night of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. We're starting off the evening with a Cold-Feet Carousal, where wine and hors d'oeuvre mix well with a meet and mingle. It's also time for our third annual silent auction, featuring area theatre tickets, handmade items from pinswithfury, Alina Desiree Allread, and A. Emily Heaney, and packages from Hill House and Steady Tattoo! Early-comers will also be treated to our opening-night presentation by board member and dramaturg, Kit Gordon; Of Shakespeare and Shrewishness, in Submission and Setting. After the show, help us celebrate the naughty nuptials with our Whipping, Ripping Wedding Reception. Yes, there will be bouquet tossing. Yes, there will be garter-slinging. Yes, there will be specialty cupcakes from our goddess at The Cupcake Conundrum. And stock up on your George Washingtons, because the bride and groom characters will be ready to rock out with you for dollar dances. For all you lovely ladies out there with bridesmaid dresses in your closet (and men with your cummerbunds): WE INVITE YOU TO WEAR THEM! Don't let those beautiful/hideous monsters linger in your closet—break them out and show them off. Individuals that come in wedding party gear can enter a drawing to win a pair of tickets for VIP reserved seating, a bottle of wine, and hors d'oeuvres for the opening night of our Spring production, Dido, Queen of Carthage, by Christopher Marlowe. Tickets for the entire evening: Sliding Scale, $14 - 41. Wine and laughter and dancing and spitfire dialogue! Just as Shakespeare intended. We can't wait to see you there. |
