Elm Shakespeare is delighted to invite you to a masked ball celebrating 30 years of storytelling, community engagement, and theatrical magic at our Moonlight Masquerade Ball. Held at the historic James Blackstone Memorial Library, this special event gives you a fun night out in costume without the kids, and raises critical funds needed to keep Elm Shakespeare performances in the park free and fuel Elm's education programs.
The evening unfolds in three acts, beginning with the Roots & Wings Reception, where guests will enjoy live acoustic music and a special toast to Jamie Burnett for his 30 years at Elm!
Don your most elegant, whimsical, or theatrical attire for the Grand Masquerade Ball. Show off your creativity in our costume contest, with categories including: Most Enchanting Look, Best Masquerade Ensemble, Most Theatrical Flair, Crowd Favorite, and Best Use of a Mask—all vying for prizes and bragging rights.
Dance the night away at the After Party, featuring a lively live-band karaoke, and tacos!
Throughout the evening, bid on one-of-a-kind treasures and experiences in our silent and live auctions. All proceeds support free performances and youth arts education programs, helping to keep theatre vibrant, accessible, and free for all.
