Final Announcement for the New Year!

Yes.

Theatre VCU's FIRST annual Black & White Masquerade Ball.

For you.
For all y'all.
For EVERY Theatre VCU student.

Saturday, May 7, 2011

Raymond Hodges Theatre, Performing Arts Center 

7:30 curtain.

First Meeting to create/design/organize the B&W Ball:
Wednesday, January 26 - 4:30pm
Student Lounge, 2nd floor, PAC

Here's the idea behind the celebration:

It was painfully obvious last May how anti-climatic the School of the Arts graduation was for many of our theatre majors. It was a lovely event, and families enjoyed the cap and gown photo ops...
But four years as a theatre major is such a collaborative, labor intensive, friends-for-life bonding, life-consuming, incredibly creatively challenging experience - it is worthy of a theatrical celebration.

During the summer the bloginator started a conversation with various students: designers, actors, stage managers. Asking: "How would you like to celebrate your experience at Theatre VCU?"

From those conversations the Black and White Masquerade Ball was born!

If this works:

• The Senior Class will hand this down from year to year. You will be the first.
• Every Theatre student is invited to join the party - From Freshmen to Grad Students. (it's a masquerade... no one will know it's you).
• Each ticket will only be $7.00 and will include a complimentary mask for you to decorate. Every cent raised will go towards making this evening memorable.
• All costumes will be white, black, or black and white. (no fuchsia, this time)
• There will be food, music, talent, and dancing, and a million photo ops. (disco ball, anyone?)

• But best of all, there will be you. All of you - working together to celebrate the end of the year, and spring, and graduation, and summer break and, of course,  the joy of being a student of the theatre.

The challenge is: 
In order to make this Masquerade Ball a rousing success we have to create this celebration from scratch ourselves. This will be your night.

Remember:

The first meeting to create/design/organize this fantastic celebration:
Wednesday, January 26, 4:30pm, Student Lounge, 2nd floor, PAC

This is the meeting that will determine your enthusiasm.
Be there... you won't be sorry,  you have the Blogster's word on it..
