Somewhere over the rainbow - From Broadway to the silver screen

We’re celebrating our 15th anniversary! For one night only, on Saturday, January 30, put on your most festive outfit and party with Dreamcatcher in a fabulous new location in Summit. This magical evening includes drinks & hors d’oeuvres, a wonderful cabaret-style show, delicious dinner, and a silent auction.

The Dreamcatcher Resident Acting Company will entertain you with songs from Broadway shows that made it to Hollywood, and Hollywood movies that were adapted for the Great White Way.

Feel good about your ticket purchase or donation because this annual fundraising gala benefits the programs and services of your favorite ensemble theatre company: Dreamcatcher. Did you know that ticket sales only account for about 20% of our annual budget? To make up the difference we hold fundraisers like this one. And arts lovers like you help fund things like college internships, new plays, outreach to seniors, and our summer theater camp for kids.

Silent Auction

Similar to a regular auction, you bid on items that you would like to purchase. Unlike a regular auction, there is no caller and no time pressure. You leisurely contemplate bidding and write your dollar amount on the bid sheets of the items you're interested in. Later on, if you discover someone has outbid you, you have time to increase your bid or stand.

Auction items represent a wide range of hobbies and interests, and span a very wide range of dollar values. So please remember to bring your checkbook to cover your purchases.

FAQs
Can I bring my kids?
Although there’s nothing specifically offensive to children, the evening has not been planned with them in mind. The venue—a private home—is not suitable for unattended kids. That said, you’re welcome to bring your very well-behaved older kids.
Do I need to rent a tux?
No. In keeping with the theme we're asking you to wear something that makes you feel festive. For some people that might mean a suit; for others it could be a favorite sweater.
Why does it seem like you're always asking for donations?
Because we are! Our ticket sales only cover a small fraction of the cost of producing our season. To keep our programming affordable (and sometimes free) to wider audiences in the community, we constantly need to raise money. And in this economic climate, it's more important than ever for us to stay afloat.
