CSULB to Host ART A LA CARTE, 5/3

The Theatre Arts Department at California State University, Long Beach will hold a new kind of theatrical fundraiser on Sunday, May 3rd. Art à la Carte: A Taste of All Things Theatre at CSULB, will be held from 5 to 8pm in the Theatre Arts building on the CSULB campus. Guests will enjoy food and refreshments and "choose their own adventure" from a menu of performances, lectures, and workshops. The evening will conclude with an exclusive sneak preview of a new autobiographical show starring Alexandra Billings - cast member of the Golden Globe winning television series Transparent, Outstanding Alumna, 2015 COTA Commencement Speaker, and Theatre Arts faculty member.

Art à la Carte features a tour of the annual Design Expo, showcasing the incredible work of the CSULB graduate and undergraduate costume, scenic, and lighting design students. This exciting glimpse into the future of theatrical design opens to the public on Tuesday, May 5th.

Community honorees Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia and Mort and Susan Stuhlbarg will be recognized for their exceptional support of the arts in the Long Beach Community. A silent auction - including contributions from award-winning performers, internationally renowned fibre artist Doshi, and nationally acclaimed novelists - will be held to help raise support for the CSULB Theatre Arts Department.

"We are delighted to have the opportunity to share our varied and exciting work with our community. This event will highlight the many talents, accomplishments, and influences our students, alums, faculty, and staff are actively developing to share with our local, national, and international communities," said Anne D'Zmura, Theatre Arts Department Chair.
