Dear Friends, We are pleased to announce that Asolo Rep’s Annual Gala 2017: La Fête de Monte Carlo, will take place on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. The event will begin with a cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by a seated dinner, paddle raise, live music and dancing. It will celebrate Monte Carlo, the luxurious Mediterranean destination along the Cote d’Azur, and one of the most noteworthy James Bond film locations. It was the epitome of jet-set chic and its glitz, glamour, fashion, royalty and yachts made it the place to be. Our musical entertainment will feature sounds from the 1960s, with a popular band (to be announced soon). All Gala proceeds will support the artists in Asolo Rep’s 2016/17 season and our award-winning Education & Outreach programs, which help students develop an appreciation for the arts while gaining empathy and insight into the lives of others through experiencing, discussing and creating live theatre. We hope we can count on your support for this year’s Gala. Tables are available for $10,000, $5,000 and $3,000 and tickets are available for $1,000, $500 and $300. We have enclosed a Table Sponsorship form that outlines the various levels of support, as well as sponsorship benefits. If you are unable to attend the event, we encourage you to make a fully tax-deductible contribution or donate to the silent auction. Your support would mean a lot to us and to Asolo Rep. If you have any questions about the sponsorships, please contact Asolo Rep’s Manager of Special Events, Laura Stuart Wood, at 941-351-9010 ext. 4712 or Laura_Wood@asolo.org.
Kind regards, Your 2017 Gala Chairs
