Lover’ly Evening previews season opener at Ocean State Theatre

Posted

Ocean State Theatre Company (OSTC), which will be opening its third season in its state-of-the-art theatre in Warwick later this month, will welcome NBC 10’s Barbara Morse Silva and local comedian Frank O’Donnell, who will join the company as guest auctioneers for their “Premiere” Fundraising Event, A Lover’ly Evening, this Saturday. 

Red Carpet Premiere Event, which will benefit the company’s Fund for Artistic Excellence, will feature food, drink, live and silent auctions, (including the chance to bid for a walk-on role in a future production), an exclusive sneak peek of Lerner and Loewe’s Broadway classic, My Fair Lady, which will kick off the company’s 2014-15 season, and dessert and coffee with the cast.

The proceeds from A Lover’ly Evening will benefit Ocean State Theatre Company’s Fund for Artistic Excellence, which ensures that programming and casting choices are made based on the highest artistic standards, rather than being influenced by economic factors. Although OSTC prides itself in hiring approximately 60 percent of its performers and creative team from the greater Rhode Island area, the Fund for Artistic Excellence allows OSTC to combine the local talent with talent from across the country, which benefits the production quality, the local economy, and the local talent!

Festivities begin at 6:30 pm Saturday. The theatre is located at 1245 Jefferson Blvd., Warwick. Individual tickets are $125, patron sponsorships are available for $500, and reserved tables of 10 are available for $1,000. All tickets include food, wine and beer, live and silent auctions, the sneak peek performance, and dessert and coffee. Tickets are on sale at the box office Monday through Friday from 12 noon-6 p.m., Saturday from 12 noon-4 p.m. online anytime at www.OceanStateTheatre.org and via telephone during normal box office hours by calling 921-6800. For sponsorship information, please contact the development office at 921-1777 x113.
