Aurora Theatre to Host 5th Annual Barbara Awards Gala, 2/23
Join friends and colleagues for a festive evening honoring local artists and dedicated community members! Aurora Theatre presents the Fifth Annual Barbara Awards Gala on Monday, February 23 at 7:30 p.m. Guests are invited to celebrate their favorite Aurora performers in the company of fellow arts supporters. All of the evening's proceeds will go toward continued funding of the theatre's productions, workshops and events. As the consummate professional arts organization in Gwinnett County and Northeast Georgia, these greatly benefit the cultural arts community of metro-Atlanta and surrounding areas. Tickets are $40 per person; $75 per couple and can be purchased online at www.auroratheatre.com.
"Aurora Theatre's premiere programming is made possible because of the talented men and women that lend their expertise to our many productions," said Anthony Rodriguez. "It is truly an honor to celebrate their successes each year at our annual gala and thank them for their contribution to our arts community."
This year's gala will include special performances by Aurora's award-winning Associate Producer Ann-Carol Pence, commemorative photos taken on a Hollywood-inspired red carpet and the highly anticipated announcement of Aurora's 20th Anniversary Season, debuting in July 2015. Heavy hors d' oeuvres will be served, accompanied by a cash bar.
Each artist will be recognized for his/her performance(s) in the 2013-14 Season, based off of online voting, which will be open through February 18. To cast a vote, please visit http://conta.cc/1EMt9or. Categories are as follows:
