Palm Beach Dramaworks announced Broadway's legendary restaurant Sardi's, will be the theme of its 11th annual Spring Gala, an evening of dinner and entertainment on Saturday, March 19th (6:30PM) to benefit and celebrate West Palm Beach's longest residing theater company. At a recent planning meeting for the gala in Manhattan, Sardi's owner Max Klimavicius graciously granted the Gala's co-chairmen Calla and Ralph Guild, permission to use the restaurant's well known logo, elements of the restaurant, and their legendary caricatures as themes for what promises to be a "must-attend" event this spring.

Co-chaired by the Guilds, the evening will feature a celebratory cocktail hour in the beautiful Cohen Pavilion lobby. Guests will then be magically transported to Times Square and into the world famous Sardi's restaurant, where countless caricatures of theatre and film stars will line the walls. Talented students from The Dreyfoos School of the Arts will whet the crowd's appetite performing a medley of Broadway classics with direction by musical theatre teacher Bruce Linser. Table flowers courtesy of the Floral Emporium, will compliment the evening which will be enhanced by a setting of dramatic style for dinner, dancing, and sensational musical entertainment by Wayne Hosford and dance music by The Platinum Band.

In celebration of the organization's eleven-year reputation of bringing some of the finest theatre to the Palm Beaches, a "behind the scenes" special presentation will highlight the company's artistic achievements and its planned new move to the Clematis Street Theatre. The coveted Shelly Award---bestowed for singular support of theatre---will also be presented during the festivities.

Susan Bloom and Sydelle Meyer will serve as Grand Benefactors, joined by Elfriede Grevendick and Virginia Sand, the evening's honorary chairwomen.

The dedicated Gala Committee members include: Patricia Bradshaw, Pat Cook, Peter Cromarty, Esther Dinerstein, Rita and Gus Hauser, Sally Ann Howes, Rhoda Kleid, Dorothy Lappin, Carlton Moody, Elizabeth Neuhoff, Joann Pflug, Faith Schulstrom, Linda & Donald Silpe and Chet Tart.

Proceeds from the benefit will support Palm Beach Dramaworks. Tickets are $350 - tables of 10 start at $3,500 and are tax deductible as provided by law. (The Kravis Center is conveniently located at 701 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL)
