All things theatrical

A fund-raiser of a different kind…

February
28

Stepinac’s drama guru Frank Portanova dropped me a line to tell me about Friday night’s interesting fund-raiser for his club’s upcoming production of “Singin’ in the Rain.”

They’re calling it “Scarlett: Passion Behind the Fashion,” and it features Stepinac’s actors — and those actresses who come from other schools, one supposes — modeling clothes from the county’s top stores. It sounds a bit commercial to me, but if it helps Stepinac in its quest to set the bar ever higher, I suppose it’s not a bad thing.

Writes Frank: “Sponsors include: STEVE MADDEN, HOT TOPIC, SPORTS AUTHORITY, MACY’S, CACHE, NEW ERA, TOO CUTE, and MEN’S WAREHOUSE. MAC Cosmetics and LA BOTTEGA of White Plains will sponsor hair and make-up for all the models. Coupons during the evening will be distributed for prom dresses and tuxedos from the various stores.â€?

The event is Friday, February 29th at 7:30pm at Stepinac High School, 950 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, NY. Admisison is $10.

For the record, I’m not going to prom this year.

About this blog
If it involves theater in any way -- from grade-schoolers learning Shakespeare to high school musicals to Broadway veterans getting into character -- this is the place to talk about it. We'll have audition notices, casting notices, mini-reviews and plenty of ideas to fill a theater junkie's to-do list.
