Speakeasy 2010
Florida Rep is throwing the party of the season once again. The evening will begin with a pious, sit-down dinner under the Arcade Marquee on First Street in the Fort Myers River District. But, after dinner guests will stealthily retreat, under the cover of darkness, into the sin-soaked and gin-soaked underworld of the Florida Rep Speakeasy for a Roaring Twenties Good Time!
Florida Rep SPEAKEASY 2010! The Password is "FUN!"
Saturday, February 27, 2010 • 6:00pm • 2278 First Street • Red Rock Saloon
Table of Eight: $1,600 • Individual Tickets: $200
On Saturday, February 27, 2010 from 6:00pm to 10:00pm Florida Rep will once again transform the River District for its annual gala. Guests will start the evening piously on First Street under the Arcade Marquee where they will be served a family-style dinner with the brothers and sisters of St. Robert of Cacioppo's Church of the Divine Brotherhood. While dinner is being served and blessings are counted, the 'choir' will sing and the 'pastor' will speak against sin and vice.
After dinner guests will stealthily retreat, under the cover of darkness, into the sin-soaked and gin-soaked underworld of the Florida Rep Speakeasy where - with the right password - they will indulge in booze, casino-style gaming and Charleston their way to a Roaring Twenties good time. All in the name of supporting the arts.
"This party is not to be missed," said Florida Rep Associate Director and event Co-Chair, Rachel Burttram, "the theme of this year's gala will allow the guests to really cut loose and have a good time. We're also very excited that this season's event will feature a catered dinner from Vino de Notte - and an open bar!"
In addition to Vino de Notte, a number of other River District establishments have come on board, and the party will feature wine from Spirits of Bacchus, beer from The Hideaway Sports Bar, coffee by Starbucks, as well as confections provided by Southwest Florida's own world-famous chocolatier, Norman Love.
Some of the other event highlights include an extensive silent auction and a first-class jazz band made up of the hottest jazz musicians in Southwest Florida - some of whom have played with Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.
