Providence Public Library (PPL) will hold its annual gala – this year a themed event: XANADU. Event chairs Mr. Barry G. and Dr. Kathleen C. Hittner, PPL Trustees and our resident muse Terpsichore invite you to escape to XANADU for a mythical, musical escapade. Delight in the stunning turn-of-the-century grand Library transformed into a fanciful paradise as we invoke our resident muse Terpsichore (goddess of dance and choral song) for a fantastical trip into another realm!
The event will feature delectable edibles by the Library’s partner and premier hospitality provider Russell Morin Fine Catering, as well as an enthralling cast of characters and performances, produced and presented by the incredible TEN31 Productions and Chifferobe Events. Look for special guest appearances from members of the Providence Roller Derby, as well!
Proceeds from the PPL’s 2015 Gala will support the Library’s new youth program initiatives and projects to provide Providence’s young adults with the ultimate Downcity learning place. For those who have not yet experienced the Library’s unique and exquisitely restored spaces (as well as those who have!), this occasion will provide the perfect opportunity to invite friends and supporters to take part in what promises to be the event of the season.
The escapade begins at 7:00 pm and will carry on until 11:00 pm, with an open dance party following the show’s grand finale. As always, at a Library event – guests should arrive on time and expect a mesmerizing performance. Don’t arrive late!
