The Theater Lover’s Bash

Saturday, April 8, 2023
The Armory

Pre-show Reception at 6:30 p.m.
Performance at 7:30 p.m.
Dance party to follow!

We want to celebrate all who make the theater experience possible; whether it’s the energy audiences offer, the gift of a volunteer’s time, the talent of an actor, or the treasure of a donor. We value your contribution!

Revel in a night full of entertainment as we celebrate where theater comes from, and where it’s going! Enjoy delicious bites from local caterers, cash bar, dessert, celebratory dancing, wine wall, paddle raises and bid frenzy activities. Featuring a special one-night-only production by Literary Manager and playwright Kamilah Bush. All to support PCS!

Unable to attend? Please consider giving the gift of theater by making a tax-deductible donation today. A gift of any size helps create equitable access for all fellow theater lovers.
 

Every Bash Needs a Fabulous Performance!

The best part of Theatre Lover’s Bash is this year’s life-giving, hilarious and touching original play, featuring beloved local actors, Shakespearean mayhem and catchy songs popping up in all the wrong places.

A Briefly Exhaustive History Of The Theatre and Other Nonsense (Abridged)

By Kamilah Bush

To be or not to be? That is one of the questions! Also, and possibly more importantly, how did we get here? A crew of hapless, but hopeful performers may have some of the answers. But you know what they say — all's well that ends well, as you like it, or what you will — something like that!

The ensemble cast will include Darius Pierce, Benjamin Tissell, and Princess Kannah, with David Lerman on piano, and once again featuring Dale Johannes as the auctioneer!
