There was such an overwhelming positive response to the Big Band benefit we did last November, and an overwhelming number of people who asked that we do it again (either because they had such a blast at the last one, or because they missed it!), so here it is!
Come at 7pm to bid on some FABULOUS items generously donated by local artists and businesses (items are still coming in, so if you have something to donate, it’s not too late!).
We are also offering swing dance lessons, courtesy of Reuben Pharms and Sylvia Lessa, starting at 7:00. Live music will start at 8pm with the Good Ole Salty Swing Band with myself on vocals, joined again by our very special guest Aja Heussi!
This is going to be a magical night, not to be missed. We had a great season, but with the high cost of rent and utilities, on top of the cost of producing shows, ticket sales were barely enough to sustain us. We really do need your continued support. Our volunteer staff has made this entire season possible, and we are building toward a sustainable career for these amazing young people who are devoted to the vision and promise of this “little cultural center that could.”
If you loved what The Annie offered up in 2011 in the way of shows (Greasy Pole: The Musical, The 1st Annual TRAGABIGZANDA Political Theatre Festival, The Young Playwrights Series’ Song of the Sea, and The LobstahCrackah Ballet), our weekly Cape Ann After Dark events, our classes and workshops, and our support of local artists through The Art Parlour, and ‘The Conservatory,’ please help us keep going strong by investing is us as a community, as a business, as individuals. We need you.
In Service,
Henry Allen
Director
