Long Wharf Gala 2008

THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 2008
5:30 pm at Long Wharf Theatre

Long Wharf will host its second re-imagined gala event, entitled Opening Doors, on June 5. The event celebrates the doors that Long Wharf Theatre opens for its community, offering a portal to new ideas, delightful entertainment, and engaging conversation.

Opening Doors will honor the founders, artists, staff, patrons, and donors who have fostered the work and ideas that the theatre has championed for 43 years.

Long Wharf will engage designers and the creative talents of its staff to transform the theatre for another adventure-filled Gala event. The theatre will also continue its new tradition of getting top notch performers as Broadway veterans Emily Skinner and Lauren Kennedy headline the event.

Tickets for the 2008 Gala are available online.
