By: Oct. 30, 2009

On Saturday, Dec. 5, TBPAC's Board of Trustees will host the Wonderland Benefit in honor of the world premiere performance of Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure, the first original production created as part of TBPAC's Broadway Genesis Project. This annual fall event (the
Broadway Ball in previous years) is TBPAC's largest single fundraiser.

Chaired by Ruth and Martin Silbiger and Sharon and Bernie Stein, this elegant and whimsical evening will bring together leading members of the business community and distinguished patrons of the arts to celebrate the performing arts, arts education and the extraordinary world premiere performance of Wonderland. In addition to the performance, the evening will include a pre-performance cocktail dinner and post-performance reception.

TBPAC's annual fall fundraiser has raised more than $1 million to support educational programs, including innovative classes at the Patel Conservatory in all performing arts disciplines, first-class performances and off-site outreach activities to underserved areas. This year, TBPAC will inspire more than 70,000 young people to create and discover through these programs.

Ticket prices are $450 per person for the full evening. Tickets for the performance and post-performance reception only, are available for $250. Event sponsorships are available beginning at $5,000. For more information or to make reservations for the Wonderland Benefit, call TBPAC's
