BTC may have closed the curtain on its highly successful fall production of Les Misérables
just before Thanksgiving, but that doesn't mean they weren't busy.
There was plenty of new material presented at the Holiday Fundraiser
that was held on December 18 at the BTC Studios, raising over $3,000
for the school's Scholarship and Capital Improvements Funds.
This year, the fundraiser took the form of a pajama party, and most
attendees - yes, including the parents - got into the spirit by
attending in all manner of sleepwear. The evening featured
several exciting holiday performances by the Ensemble students,
including a song sung by our Artistic Director, Fiona Santos.
Performances ranged from full ensemble numbers to solos, duets and
other small student groups, drawing on material from A Christmas Survival Guide. Throughout
the evening, various fundraising activities were taking place,
including slot machine style rub-off cards, bingo, beverage sales, and
raffles featuring a number of donated items. Raffle items that
generated the most excitement were "My Favorite Things" bags created by
co-Artistic Directors Fiona Santos and Jason Brantman, and
Administrator Liz Haydock. The evening finished with a number
of open mic performances, in which anyone with a song to sing or a
dance to dance (and a bit of money to pay) was invited up on stage to
dazzle the crowd. And dazzle they did! With about a dozen performances,
we all got to see that talent runs deep in the BTC community. |
