After much thought and consideration, The Ridgefield Playhouse has decided to move their Summer Gala originally scheduled for Thursday, June 18 to Saturday, September 12. As the Playhouse’s Summer Gala is one of the most important fundraisers of the year for the non-profit, they didn’t want to cancel the event. Luckily, performer Chaka Khan was able to reschedule the date to just after the summer. “Our FIRST PRIORITY is the health and well-being of our patrons, artists, volunteers, staff, and community,” says Playhouse Executive Director Allison Stockel, “Therefore we are going to host an “End of Summer” Gala instead!” The event will have the same timing as the date of the original show – a cocktail party including dinner by the bite, an open bar and silent auction under the tent on the field next to the Playhouse beginning at 5:30pm for Gala ticket holders; followed by a live auction and performance by 10-time Grammy Award winner Chaka Khan in the theater for everyone at 8pm. “We hope everyone will hold onto their tickets and celebrate not only the arts and the Playhouse, but the ability to go out again and enjoy ourselves!” says Stockel.
All current tickets will be honored for the new date. If you do not have a ticket and would like to attend, tickets are on sale NOW on the Ridgefield Playhouse website (www.ridgefieldplayhouse.org) or you can call the box office at (203) 438-5795. Currently box office hours are limited to M-F 10am-4pm with only one box office person manning the phone lines. If you have a conflict with this, or any other rescheduled show, you may exchange your tickets to another upcoming show or donate your tickets and receive a tax deduction letter for the total ticket value. The Ridgefield Playhouse is a non-profit institution relying on both ticket sales and contributed revenue, they are asking patrons who cannot attend to consider donating the cost of their tickets. While postponing performances is necessary for the health of all patrons, staff, artists, and volunteers, it will be a loss for the theater, making donations even more important. For more information, please contact the Playhouse box office at (203) 438-5795.
