Is anyone
ready for “A Night in the Windy City?” Theatre Arlington’s annual gala is
coming up and this year’s event is not-to-be-missed by anyone who loves the
band Chicago, whose members had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s
and 1980s. Michael Hix and 26 or 5 to 4,
the only Chicago Tribute Band in Texas, will entertain guests at the gala.
Hix, from
Arlington Music Theater, performed at the benefit last year and he was a great
success, said chairwoman Diane Kinzlmaier
“Everyone
wanted him back, so when we found out about his Chicago Tribute Band, we jumped
on the idea for our theme,” Kinzlmaier said.
“In
addition to the great music of Chicago, the band plays a strong mix of classic rock
and Motown,” Kinzlmaier said.
The
gala is at 7 p.m. Friday, April 12, in the Grand Ballroom at Cacharel, 2221 E.
Lamar Boulevard. Dress is cocktail attire and tickets are $100 a person, which
includes a seated dinner by the master chefs at Cacharel. The evening will feature a limited luxury
auction with Master of Ceremonies, WFAA newsman Jim Douglas. For reservations,
contact Kim Lawson at 817-261-9628 x15 or kim@theatrearlington.org.
The
annual gala helps enable Theatre Arlington to present award-winning theater at
affordable prices. The theater is celebrating its 40th season and is
the second largest and oldest theater in Tarrant County.
The theater has operated an outreach program for
at-risk students at Thornton Elementary and Crow Elementary for 18 years, and
offers a summer camp for children in the AISD’s Families in Transition Program,
in addition to producing nine main stage productions, including two all- youth
productions, each year and operates a year-round theater school.
