Clocktower Players Host Opening Night Gala Tonight

By:

Clocktower Players 2014-15 SEASON kicks off tonight, October 18th with a Sensational Opening Night Fundraising Gala: THE WIZ in concert. This highly-anticipated event benefits Clocktower Players and features TONY Award-winner Ann Duquesnay (Bring in Da' Noise, Bring in Da' Funk), Darlesia Cearcy (Book of Mormon, The Color Purple), Terri Klausner (Evita, Sophisticated Ladies), NaTasha Yvette Williams (The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess, The Color Purple), Guy Fortt (The Color Purple, The Devil Wears Prada) and Ty Stephens (Sophisticated Ladies, Marilyn, An American Fable) along with the Rivertowns Clocktower troupers and Emmy-award winner Jon Scott.

Honoring members of the community near and dear to our hearts, Clocktower Players 2014 Bravo Award recipients are Danielle Diaz, proprietor of Geordanes Neighborhood Market in Irvington, and Tim Lamorte, photographer and editor of the Rivertowns Enterprise. A photography exhibit at Town Hall will feature the photography of Mr. Lamorte "Theater - A Backstage View" at 6:30pm.

"Dani is always there for us. She has nourished many of our theater casts and crews over the years with her fresh, delicious Geordanes' meals. Tim has documented our shows behind the scenes for a number of seasons and his images capture the magic of our productions. We are thrilled to honor them at our annual event and deeply grateful for their support and enthusiasm for community theater," said Clocktower Players Artistic & Executive Director, Cagle McDonald.
