Toast to Broadway a Rousing Success!

July 15, 2018 by arkvalleyplayersadmin

Wow. What a night! I am still on a high. The talent we have in Cowley County is ASTOUNDING! Ten TOP-NOTCH performers each doing two songs (of their own choice), a world-class band that rocked the Burford Theatre, led by the incomparable Stephen Butler, a committee of dedicated volunteers to help plan, decorate, AND clean up, wonderful food by Great Western Catering, an amazing Silent Auction, a toast to the newly reformed Ark Valley Players… and on, and on! I was on such a buzz last night that I didn’t sleep until 2 AM!

In all honesty, though, AVP has to thank the wonderful people who partnered with us last night. We filled all but a few seats! The support and love we all felt last night was overwhelming. Just crazy! We thank you from the bottom of our heart!

Guests enjoying the hors d’oeuvres and conversation pre-show. Left to right:

You can BET this will be an annual fundraiser, and we’ll be looking at starting planning in a few short months for next year. If you missed out this go-round, you have next year to look forward to!

Again, thank you-thank you… to all of YOU!

Play On!
