Fundraiser

Last Wednesday night I attended a fundraiser at the Greensburg Garden and Civic Center to support the local arts program in the form of the theater company that performs there.  My dear friend Bear (Barry Shirey) is on the board of directors and I promised to attend. 

The light Hors d’Oeuvres served were delicious!  Several kinds of chicken, BBQ meatballs, shrimp, cheese sticks, fruit and veggie trays, meat and cracker trays, and mini-donuts and cookies.  They had originally expected 75 to attend but there were far more than that!  I connected up with Bear’s friend Connie, his niece Brandi and her new husband and we enjoyed catching up and chatting about the holidays and the general navigation of life! 

The entertainment began at 8pm and I was totally impressed.  The talent was all local and the voices were flawless!  There were whimsical pieces and carols and jolly holiday songs.  My favorite were two girls who did the ‘Sisters’ song from White Christmas.  When the show was over, Bear and I posed for our traditional together photo in the lobby.  It was a great evening full of fun and song, and the fundraiser as a whole was a great success!  I wouldn’t be surprised to see more like it in the future. 

And I encourage you to check out the 2019 seasons schedule either through the Garden Center website or the Palace Theatre website. The schedule will be posted soon. The first production will be ‘Run for your Wife’ February 7-9, 2019.  The shows are very much worth attending!
