Grab your poodle skirt, grease your hair back and travel back in time to 1959 as The Gift Theatre presents CUPID'S BALL 1959, the company's inaugural winter dance, on Friday, February 9, 2018 at 7 pm at St. Patrick's High School, 5900 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago.

Enjoy signature Cupid Punches from celebrated Chicago mixologists Ryan Hoffman (Entente) and Ryan Rezvani (Bitter Ex), a sweetheart photo booth and more as you dance the night away with your Valentine. But don't dance too closely: Sister Agnes, Fr. Murphy and Principal Skinner will be watching! CUPID'S BALL is a family-friendly event - children 12 and under are free.

Tickets (single $50, couples $85) are currently available at thegifttheatre.org. Free parking is available. All proceeds benefit programming, new play development and arts education at the Jefferson Park institution on Chicago's northwest side.
