WEDNESDAY MARCH 31 WILL BE A GRAND EVENING WITH GRUPPO RUBATO
// March 19th, 2010 // Blog, News
Gruppo Rubato invites you to celebrate a grand evening with us in support of our upcoming production of Airport Security premiering at the Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre Studio Theatre June 4-12, 2010. Let’s raise a glass and raise a grand (as in $1000) for Gruppo Rubato at our A Grand Evening fundraiser: 7:00 pm on Wednesday, March 31 at Club SAW. The night is set up for so much entertainment we can bear-ly contain ourselves!
We’re starting off right with a staged reading our smash hit comedy The Man Who Went to Work One Day and Got Eaten by a Bear. A sell-out at the 2006 Ottawa Fringe Festival, playwright Patrick Gauthier has updated the script (now with 50% more bear puns!) and reunited the original cast of Simon Bradshaw, Jordan Hancey, Kris Joseph, Tania Levy and Natalie Joy Quesnel for this special one night only event.
If that weren’t enough, A Grand Evening also marks the WORLD PREMEIRE of our short film Airport Security. A major component of the Airport Security Project, this 20 minute film brings you deeper into the world of air travel – and of the play. Why wait when you can attend our exclusive advance screening?
And A Grand Evening will wind up with a dance party hosted by DJ AL Connors, CHEAP drinks, and maybe a surprise or two. Tickets are $15 (available at the door or in advance); the doors open at 7:00 pm and the art begins at 7:30!
