Bay Street Theater invites its supporters to fly south for a fabulous theatrical retreat to sunny Naples, Florida.
The warm weekend kicks off on Friday, March 1, with a pre-theater dinner, followed by house seats to “Into the Breeches” by George Brant at Gulf Shore Playhouse including a private pre-theater discussion with a member of Gulf Shore’s team.
On Saturday, March 2, the group will enjoy an exclusive “hard hat tour” of the brand new Gulf Shore Playhouse — not yet open to the public. That evening participants will enjoy a pre-theater dinner followed by prime orchestra seating at Artis-Naples Philharmonic POPS for a performance of “She’s Got Soul,” featuring powerhouse star of Broadway, vocalist Capathia Jenkins. Together with a trio of fabulous backup singers, this captivating night of soul and R&B favorites will blow the roof off the joint, as she did with her ovation-invoking performances on Broadway in “Caroline or Change” and “Newsies.”
On Sunday, the group will meet for brunch with time after to enjoy all Naples has to offer including pristine beaches, wonderful shopping, culture including the Baker Museum and fine dining.
On Monday, March 4, participants will attend The Gulf Shore Playhouse Annual Gala, “Puttin’ On The Ritz” dressed in their finest roaring ’20s attire at the Naples Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
The cost of the trip is $1,850 per person (exclusive of travel and lodging) which includes a $500 donation to Bay Street Theater. For more information, contact Kim Fink at kim@baystreet.org or Mick Johnson at mjohnson@baystreet.org or call 631-718-0818.
