Join Artistic Director Brynn Tyszka and Executive Director Mary Tiballi Hoffman at ARTISANworks as we celebrate 77 years of local theatre-making and raise funds to ensure Blackfriars Theatre’s future! Guests will enjoy a cocktail party with heavy hors d’oeuvres, raffle prizes, musical performances from a cast of notable BT artists, and at the end of the night, the audience will get to choose next season’s big musical! This interactive gala fundraiser is the most exciting night of the year!
During the Artistic Program, we will reveal a top secret line-up of four musicals we're considering for the 2027-2028 Season--then a cast of your favorite Blackfriars artists will perform two songs from each musical. Throughout the program, attendees will be given the chance to purchase votes for their favorite show. Purchase as many votes as you like--all proceeds will directly support Blackfriars Theatre's artistic and educational programming. At the end of the night, the show with the most votes will be programmed in our 2027-2028 Season! Vote often to ensure your favorite musical will make it into our 78th Season--and feel good in the knowledge that each vote purchased supports your local non-profit theatre company! Votes are available for purchase during the event only. Titles of shows under consideration will be unveiled during the event.
Your ticket includes admission, a welcome cocktail, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and a fabulous show!
