Dancing on stage…valet parking…signature cocktails…

2009 theme: Skin: be comfortable in yours
Portsmouth, New Hampshire… “Don’t miss the sexiest party on the Seacoast – dance,
feast, party with the hottest people in town…including special guests – the cabaret
dancers from Iron Heart Circus.” That’s according to Jen Shulman and Brook
Gassner, co-chairs of this year’s Event to benefit The Music Hall, who have been
working for months with committee members Dodi Guyton and Julia Madden to
make The Event a huge success.
“You’ll be dancing on our historic stage and benefiting The Music Hall at the same
time,” said Brook. “Leave the car with our Valet, head into the Founders Lobby
Lounge for a signature cocktail, and tuck into the gourmet hors d’oeuvres while you
look over the list of Silent Auction items (see below!) and ponder your first bid. Take
that cocktail upstairs into the theatre, check out the cool visuals on screen and
welcome international sensation DJ Logic back to the Hall. He’ll be on stage where
you’ll be dancing all night! Event tickets will go quickly. Don’t miss out – get your
ticket today!”
Mary Horigan, Director of Corporate and Foundation Giving added, “When you
purchase your Event tickets, pre-register at the Box Office for the Silent Auction –
you’ll be entered into a Celebrity Raffle to win two tickets to the Brandi Carlile
concert January 31, 2009 at The Music Hall and a meet & greet with Brandi!”
Mary continues, “We’re thrilled with the Silent Auction items we’ve secured. They
include two tickets to the sold out Writers on a New England Stage: Stephen King and a
highly coveted signed copy of his newest book. We’ve already taken temporary
possession of a Vespa LX 50 which is now in our lobby. Other donations include an
evening on the town chauffeured by Regal Limousine, a wine tasting on a private
boat, and a getaway weekend at a vacation home on the coast of Maine.”
Joining DJLogic on stage will be cabaret dancers from Iron Heart Circus, a cabaret
dance troupe that will be entertaining the revelers. For more information about Iron
Heart Circus, visit www.ironheartcircus.com
DJLogic’s plan for the evening? “Playing my own music/my own production, as
well as house, electronic dance, a little bit of hip hop and some jazz. I like to be very
eclectic with my set – put everyone in the right groove.”
About The Event
The theme for this year’s Event is Skin: Be comfortable in yours. According to Mary
Horigan, “Skin is in this year - look at all the fashion magazines- whether it is
python, leopard or your own, our theme allows you to have fun with your
wardrobe. So think Zebra pants, snake skin tops or your favorite jeans! Anything
goes!” So what is The Event Experience? Again, Jen, “People who attend this event
experience a lot of vibrant energy, movement, outrageous clothing, and urban
infusion! I think it’s a bit of an eye opener for a lot of people because they don’t
realize they can get this caliber of DJ and dance floor in Portsmouth…The Event is
quite possibly the only party of the whole year that is able to provide that. And, The
Event is such an excellent fundraiser and something people in the community look
forward to all year. The money we receive from this party goes to running and
refurbishing this beautiful hall. All the food for the party is donated by local
restaurants, and this is a chance for them to receive some excellent visibility in the
community. Overall, a great night!”
