Providence to 'Revel' with The Wilbury Group

For one night only, on Saturday, May 6, 2017, Providence's Wilbury Theatre Group will awaken the historic 1927 Industrial National Trust Bank for its annual fundraiser REVEL! A Gala for the Wilbury Group. The event will begin with an exclusive sponsor and VIP cocktail reception where guests will experience sunset views from the 25th floor of the tallest building in Providence while enjoying an open bar and alluring eats from Fire Works Catering. The Kerry Callery Award for Distinguished Service to the Arts will be presented to Charles and Cheryle Cavalconte of Bristol for their unparalleled support for theatre in Rhode Island. Entertainment from Jesse Hawleyand James Stanley's acclaimed performance piece House Warming will give guests a surreal experience like no other while atop the Superman Building.

Moving downstairs to the main lobby, Wilbury guests will enjoy delicious hors d'oeuvres and an open bar, while modern jazz by The Ben Shaw Quartet and Shakespeare-inspired rock by Bard the Band keep things grooving. Design and decor by globally-renowned Advanced Production and Design and desserts by local sugar shops will sweeten the deal as pop-up performances by local entertainers leave guests wondering what theatrical adventure will arrive next.

Proceeds will support The Wilbury Theatre Group in its mission to provide Providence's diverse community with affordable and accessible performing arts through its education and public outreach programs.

"The 2016/17 season has been a landmark season for The WIlbury Group," says Artistic Director Josh Short. "We've seen tremendous growth in both our performances and our community outreach programs. We look to those who recognize the value of an arts-enriched community to support our efforts to provide diverse and high quality theatre, and few have been as supportive of our work from the beginning as Charles and Cheryl have. It is an honor for us to have this opportunity to recognize them and their incredible support for the Wilbury Group and the entire Rhode Island theatre community."

The Wilbury Group enriches the Rhode Island theater community with the highest quality professional theatre that simultaneously engages, inspires and provokes thought among audiences throughout New England. REVEL! is a sneak peek into the renderings and collaborations of The Wilbury Theatre Group and what it brings to the local Providence community.
