The Main Street Theater In Port Lavaca held an Awards Gala and preview of their first production on the twenty-third of February. On hand for the event were many of the actors, behind the scenes workers and patrons that make the Main Street Theater one of the integral parts of Main Street Port Lavaca.
Guests were treated to a excellent selection of various cold and hot food, while enjoying a wine tasting courtesy of Big Barn Wines. A silent auction was also held with various prizes donated by local businesses and services. The prizes, which included fine jewelry, a set of five CD’s by country artist Larry Joe Taylor, a hardback copy of the book Old Vengeance by C.W. Spencer, a package of 100 full color business cards from Strictly Business, a wooden cross of the highest quality and a getaway bundle including one fishing charter for one to five people and a one night stay at the Coastal Safari Lodge.
Besides getting to see the presentation of awards from last years productions, there was also a sneak peek of the play Noises Off, which featured many local thespians in action. Noises Off ended it’s run before this issue of Dolphin Talk went to press, but that play was only the first of this season’s line-up of excellent shows at the Main Street Theater which will include:
The Velveteen Rabbit, with shows performed June eighth through the tenth of that month, then from the fourteenth till the seventeenth.
Ken Ludwig’s The For on the Fairway, performed August third through fifth, then again on the tenth through the twelfth of the same month.
The fourth play of the season will be the Fall Christmas Show, but the dates for this Holiday special have yet to be decided or announced.
Theater lovers and patrons are also encouraged to make donations to keep future productions coming.
There are several levels of sponsorship. Please check out Main Street Theatre’s web site for more information.
