Thank you for everyone who attended the La Bohème event
Gala Fundraiser
6 December 2002
8:00 - 10:30 PM
The Broadway Theater
1681 Broadway at 53rd Street
This promises to be a night of firsts. AIGA New York has chosen
this night for its first gala fundraiser (for these tough times),
and also to bring us together dressed really nice and smelling of
Champagne.
For the first time acclaimed director, and all around bon vivant,
Baz Lurhmann is bringing Puccini's "La Bohème"
to Broadway in its original Italian (with subtitles of course) sung
by a attractive cast of singers from South America, China, England
Russia and America.
Designed by his wife, Oscar winner Catherine Martin, with the stunning
visual splendor she brought to "Moulin Rouge." This production
promises to be the talk of the town. See it with 600 others three
days before opening night and enjoy a post performance discussion
with Mr. Lurhmann and Ms Martin, another first.
Be the first on your block to get Bohème!
Why A Fundraiser?
With revenue shortfalls a serious issue at this time, the New York
chapter would like to find a way to continue providing a forum for
the exchange of ideas with our visiting lecturers, Small Talks and
Business Seminars; and continue to make a difference in the lives
of students in our Mentor Program.
Where will you sit?
All seats are in the orchestra and front mezzanine section, the
prime seating areas of the theater. Seats will be assigned on a
first come, first serve basis. Seats purchased as one transaction
will be grouped together. If you wish to sit together as a group,
try to purchase your tickets at once on one credit card. If you
have a special need due to a handicap, please make a note in the
comment section of the on-line registration form.
When will you receive your tickets?
Beginning November 18th, tickets will be mailed to the person who
ordered them. Tickets ordered after November 18th can be picked
up at AIGA until December 5th.
Why are there two ticket prices?
This Gala Fundraiser will make the difference in revenue shortfalls
for our chapter. There is no difference in these seats based on
the tickets price. The difference is in the amount you give in support
. Please give generously; all proceeds above the actual ticket price
of $95 will benefit these initiatives, and represents the tax deductible
portion of your purchase.
Tickets prices
$175 Extra Generous Art Director Rate(Milton, Ivan, and company,
we're depending on you)
$125 Regular Joe and Jane Designer Rate(without you we're nothing)
There is no limit to the number of tickets you can purchase, and
we encourage you to tell your friends.
