Show up for show tunes

Shine up your sequins and dust off your best suit for BROADWAY MAGIC! — a gala fundraiser presented by Coastal Voices, Lincoln County's premiere vocal ensemble, at the Newport Performing Arts Center on Saturday July 20.

The glitz and glamor of this black tie-optional event begins with a silent auction and raffle games in the lobby, followed by a performance of Broadway musical selections in the Silverman Theater. The varied program will include songs from hit shows such as “Man of La Mancha,” “Rent,” “My Fair Lady” and “Camelot.”

Proceeds from the gala will support the mission of the ensemble to create a sustainable and inclusive organization that celebrates, promotes and develops the choral arts.

“So many local businesses have generously contributed prizes,” said board member Lissa Davis. “They recognize the importance of the joy that music and singing bring into our lives.” Prize donors include Chalet Restaurant, Roby’s Furniture, Fishtails Cafe, Tú Tú Tú Kitchen Cottage, Builders FirstSource and Ultralife Cafe among many others.

Tickets range from $25 to $100. All admissions include access to the auction and raffle games in the lobby followed by the theater performance. The $50 ticket includes a VIP reception sponsored by Beach Daisy Wine and catered by Coastal Culinary Collaborative. The $100 ticket adds a commemorative gift and a name mention in a song from the stage. The deadline for advance purchase of $50 and $100 tickets is Thursday, July 18. General admission $25 tickets are available until performance time.

The gala event begins at 5:30 pm at 777 W Olive Street. For more information and advance tickets, go to coastal-voices.org.
