Mark your calendars for an exciting Broadway Gala fundraising event on Tuesday, July 29 at 5pm that will include a cabaret-style evening showcasing the talents of the Thingamajig Theatre Company’s brilliant summer musicals cast and an opportunity to bid on unique private events with the actors.
Fans of actor Dan Morrison will be delighted to know that he will return to his role as the energetic, exuberant emcee of the event.
It’s all part of an elegant evening of live music and entertainment at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts to raise funds for Pagosa’s only professional nonprofit live theatre.
As well, beginning July 15 Thingamajig fans have the opportunity to place online advance bids on multiple one-of-a-kind interactions with the actors whether or not you are attending the Gala. If you want to be added to the theatre’s email list for this and other notifications, send your email address to thingamajigbox@gmail.com.
Only about half of the costs of Thingamajig productions are covered by ticket sales. The remainder of the theatre’s funding comes from private donors, business sponsors, grants and proceeds from this annual Broadway Gala fundraiser – the most important event of the year to keep the theatre up and running.
Tickets are $150 for the dressy gala evening and are on sale now on the theatre’s website at pagosacenter.org or by phoning the box office at 970-731-SHOW (7469).
Here’s a new addition to the gala fun this year: When you buy your ticket, you can note your favorite Broadway song and – for a donation – have it sung by one of the actors at the event.
Other highlights of the evening include a meal catered and donated by theatre sponsor Alley House Grille served by the actors. There will be a cash bar, with tips going to the actors.
