Eagle Theatre to Host 100 Year Anniversary Gala on 6/7

The Eagle Theatre will host a 100 Year Anniversary Gala on June 7th 2014, featuring live entertainment; a jazz trio, food, wine and the announcement of the 2015 Season.

The Eagle Theatre opened its doors in 1914 as a silent movie theatre. Over the years, the Eagle Theatre served as a church, an apartment and a warehouse, before being rediscovered in 2007. Through the determination of devoted volunteers, the Eagle Theatre was brought back to its former glory and reopened in June of 2009. Since the reopening, the Eagle Theatre has quickly grown into South Jersey's only year round professional Equity Theatre, featuring critically acclaimed Mainstage productions, educational outreach programing and the regions first on-sight Wine Lounge, proudly serving Sharrott Winery's Award-Winning Wine.

James Donio, Chairman of the Board of the Eagle Theatre said, "To be able to restore and reopen the Eagle Theatre in the depths of a recession was a minor miracle, but to have it thrive during these past five years is a major miracle. None of it would have been possible without the dedicated volunteers, staff, donors, season passholders, patrons and businesses that have supported us. We believe the story of the Eagle Theatre is just beginning and that there is a lot more to come during the next 100 years."

The 100 Year Anniversary Gala will be held on June 7th at 7 p.m. Access to this once in a lifetime event is $20 and includes food, wine and entertainment. The event is free to all Eagle Theatre Season Pass Holders. To make reservations or for more information, please visit www.TheEagleTheatre.com or call 609-704-5012. The Gala is sponsored by Kitchen 19, Sharrott Winery, Casciano Coffee Bar & Sweetery, BCA Insurance Group and Spellcaster Productions.
