Usually fundraising galas are black tie events with fancy hors d’oeuvres and dancing. Well, you can wear a black tie if you like, eat popcorn and dance if you like but in the privacy of your own home at Slow Burn Theatre Company’s online fundraising Fireside Gala at 7 p.m. Nov. 14.
The invite reads: “Come gather around the fire to share stories, songs and s’mores as we rekindle the flame so it can continue to burn bright.” Slow Burn performers will entertain and the revised 2021-2022 season will be announced including Kinky Boots and Ragtime which was about to open when the virus shut down everything.
Registration online is free but requested so they can make appropriate plans. Of course, donations are welcome. A donation of $100 or more will automatically enter you to win a drawing for an Uber Eats package. An online silent auction is also underway through Nov. 15 at midnight.
