Soirée by the Bay

Soirée by the Bay

Apr. 17

Cygnet Theatre supporters are set to experience something new this year during the 2016 fundraising gala, which celebrates great theatre while supporting Cygnet’s mission and belief in “the power of theatre to startle the soul, ignite debate and embrace the diversity of the community in which we serve.” Held for the first time at the spectacular and stunning bayside Coasterra on Harbor Island, organizers are planning an evening featuring the culinary mastery and incomparable view of downtown San Diego, where the dramatic view from the bay and harbor can be seen from every table. Executive Chef Deborah Scott will craft a rare mix of unique, Latin flavors that pair perfectly with the restaurant’s panorama. The soirée will feature a specialty Cygneture cocktail, silent and live auctions, and outstanding cabaret-style entertainment by popular Cygnet performers. According to event chair Lynne Thrope, “Cygnet’s Soirée by the Bay will bring elegance and fine cuisine once again to its patrons. It’s well known that Cygnet provides Off Broadway-quality, award-winning theatre and this event will match that level of excellence.” Auction items include exclusive dinners, unique experiences, and exciting getaways. Adding to the evening’s fun will be special treats for attendees including makeup consultations with Cygnet makeup artists and henna designs. Honorary committee chairs are Marilyn and Arthur Neumann. Proceeds benefit Cygnet Theatre’s work presenting extraordinary theatre and educational programs in the community. 619.337.1525, cygnettheatre.com/support/gala.php
