In order to kick off Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts’ 60th season, the performing arts center will host a new kind of fundraiser. On May 18, community members and lovers of the arts are invited to attend a red carpet reception and a special variety show that will celebrate all of the talent WWCA has to offer, according to a press release from the Center. The party kicks off at 6 p.m. with a red carpet reception that includes wine, beer and light hors d’oeuvres. The variety show begins at 7:30 p.m., including performances from Symphony of the Lakes, Wagon Wheel Jr. members and guest appearances from past WWCA actors. Both the reception and the variety show will take place at Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts. In addition to the show, there will be numerous silent and live auction items available. Tickets to the red carpet reception are $75 and include admission to the show. Tickets just for the special variety performance are $25. All proceeds go toward funding Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts and the multiple programs it houses. More details are to come, but tickets can be purchased now.
