An Enchanted Evening. A two act cabaret show will feature former and future stars on a musical journey through the songs of Broadway and beyond.
On November 9, 2013 join us for a champagne and cocktail reception, gourmet supper buffet, silent and live auctions, followed by a fabulous show in two acts directed by Eileen Grady with musical direction by Debra Chambliss. The revue features celebrity emcee Celeste Perry and familiar Mountain Play talents including Susan Zelinsky, Buzz Halsing, Joshua Castro, Phillip Percy Williams, Anne Ripley, Lexie Papedo and Matt Kizer. This hugely popular event sells out.
The Hoytt Theater at Osher Marin JCC in San Rafael will be filled with music and gourmet tapas-style cuisine from favorite local restaurants paired with local wines.
This celebration is a tribute to the Mountain Play, Broadway and beyond – with dedicated artists donating their musical talents, local businesses donating live and silent auction items, and restaurants and caterers donating delectable food and local wines.
The annual fall benefit kicks off the production season, helping raise much-needed funds to begin work on the spring 2014 production of South Pacific. The evening will also feature the public’s first opportunity to meet 2014 Director Linda Dunn and hear about her vision for the season. Dunn is only the second female director in the 101 year history of the Mountain Play.
