Present
AN ENCHANTED WINE AND CHOCOLATE EVENING
On Monday, March 10, guests are invited to join
the Friends of The Rep for AN ENCHANTED WINE AND CHOCOLATE
EVENING at Milwaukee Repertory Theater in The Rep’s
Stiemke Theater. The Rep’s production of ENCHANTED APRIL
is “An Uplifting Tale of Love Hope and Rejuvenation.” Once
guests have seen a performance of this story of “wisteria
and sunshine,” they will join the Friends of The Rep and
continue that experience with this special evening (for more information
about the show, visit www.milwaukeerep.com/season/performancedetails.php?ID=122).
Between 7:00 pm and 7:15 pm, guests will arrive and take their
wine to the theater. Here, the cast of ENCHANTED APRIL will participate
in a discussion and answer any questions about the show and their
experiences. The guests will then be lead on an exclusive tour
around the stage, the control booth and the dressing rooms (complete
with costumes!). Finally, guests and actors will reconvene in the
lobby for more fine wine, decadent chocolate and new friends.
Tickets to this event are $50 for the event only and $75 for the
event and a ticket to see ENCHANTED APRIL. As seating is very limited,
the RSVP deadline is Monday, March 3. All proceeds
go to the Friends of The Rep. More details may be found at www.milwaukeerep.com/support/events.htm.
