Synetic Theater Hosts 2013 Vampire's Ball Tonight

Synetic Theater invites you to the annual Vampire's Ball tonight, November 1. The Vampire's Ball has been a tradition at Synetic since 2007, when it was originally organized in conjunction with The Fall of the House of Usher. This year, The Vampire's Ball will follow another creepy and supernatural Synetic stand-out, The Picture of Dorian Gray. After being treated to a spectacular performance, guests will dance the night away in Synetic's new studio, courtesy of Resident Composer and Halloween DJ Konstantine Lortkipanidze. The event will also include an open bar, light appetizers and costume contest with fabulous Synetic prizes! Tickets are $60 or $100 for a pair and can be purchased online at www.synetictheater.org or via phone at 866-811-4111.

Fearing the ravages of time and realizing the impermanence of youth, Dorian Gray makes a fateful wish-that his almost supernaturally lifelike portrait grow old while he remains forever young and beautiful. Synetic's inventiveness and unforgettable visuals will elevate Oscar Wilde's fantastical story to yet another level, following a long list of successful literary adaptations of such well-known classics as Dracula, Faust, Frankenstein, The Fall of the House of Usher, Jekyll and Hyde, The Master and Margarita, and The Three Musketeers.

The Vampire's Ball will be held Friday, November 1. Tickets are $60 and include admission to that evening's performance of The Picture of Dorian Gray, and admission to the post-show party in Synetic's new studio space. The post-show party will have an open bar, costume contest and dancing DJ'd by Synetic's resident composer Konstantine Lortkipanidze.
