Princes and Princesses, proclaim your love for the A.R.T. with the 2nd Annual Valentine’s Gala, an enchanted fairytale evening of love potions and Grimm notions.
Featuring a unique cabaret performance by Broadway composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, with Jared Bowen of WGBH as emcee, and a special A.R.T. Angel Award to longtime A.R.T. friend and community volunteer Joan Parker.
With a darkly romantic fairy tale theme, A.R.T. Ever After promises to be the social event of the winter. The Castle will be transformed into a wooded forest where guests will mingle with story book characters before enjoying a delicious feast provided by MAX Ultimate Foods. Broadway great Stephen Schwartz will offer a special cabaret performance, exclusive theater packages to NYC and Montreal will be auctioned, the inaugural A.R.T. Angel Award will be bestowed to community volunteer Joan Parker, and the evening will conclude with attendees mingling over desserts while dancing the night away.
