The Performing Arts League is hosting A Dramatic Affair, a festive evening fundraiser supporting PAL’s work to encourage youth involvement in the performing arts. The event takes place on Thursday, April 9 at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre. The evening starts in CTC’s Mainstage Lobby with a cocktail reception followed by selection of hors d'oeuvres plus a dessert buffet during the intermission. In addition to the private preview performance of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing," guests can participate in a Silent Auction and Wine Pull. Tickets are $85 and can be purchased at the PAL website: https://www.palchattanooga.org/events.html
Karen Wilson, President of PAL comments: “A Dramatic Affair has traditionally been one of PAL’s most popular fundraising events. Our festive evening of theater and socializing begins in the Chattanooga Theatre Centre’s Mainstage Lobby with a wine and specialty cocktail bar, followed by a substantial selection of delectable hors d’oeuvres plus a dessert buffet during intermission. While people mingle before the private performance, they will be able to peruse the many Silent Auction items and enjoy a wine pull with a variety of selections. We’re excited that this year’s 'sneak preview' is an updated take on Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, 'Much Ado About Nothing.' Supporting an evening such as this one has a far-reaching impact with the proceeds providing arts education scholarships to local students in the performing arts, as well as grants to the nonprofit performing arts organizations that mentor and train these outstanding young people. We look forward to seeing our friends at what promises to be another memorable event.”
