Drew Gehling & Friends To Perform At Shakespeare On The Sound's MASQUERADE OF FOOLS Gala

Broadway star Drew Gehling will perform at Shakespeare on The Sound's Masquerade Gala on Saturday, April 5th alongside fellow Broadway talent to benefit the organization's summer production of Twelfth Night and their educational programs.

Drew Gehling is best known for originating the role of Dr. Pomatter in the hit Broadway musical, Waitress, with music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles.

The Gala will take place at The Loading Dock in Stamford, CT where the space will be transformed into an elegant Masquerade Ball, inspired by the mystery & mistaken identity themes in Twelfth Night. The magical evening, catered by renowned chef Abigail Kirsch, will commence with a cocktail hour featuring signature drinks and live music, followed by a pre-performance three-course dinner and live auction. There will be an on-going silent auction throughout.
