[Baltimore Sun] ‘A Night for Baltimore’: Baltimore Scene | PHOTOS
Read Time:4 Minute, 13 Second
Like the plays that are produced on the premises, Everyman Theatre’s annual gala – “A Night for Baltimore” — came in several acts. The difference here was that attendees had a choice of how many they wanted to experience. They could arrive at 5 p.m. for a welcoming cocktail reception on the first floor, followed by a 6 p.m. concert by Baltimore native (and daughter of Everyman board member Donald Thoms) acclaimed actress/singer Tracie Thoms. While they enjoyed an after-concert dinner reception in the rehearsal hall upstairs, the second group of guests arrived for their 7 p.m. welcoming reception downstairs — also followed by their own 8 p.m. Tracie Thoms concert in the theater.
When that concluded, both groups came together – totaling about 400 guests — for the event’s big dance party in the rehearsal hall, produced by another Thoms family member, Tracie’s brother, Austin “A-Man The DJ” Thoms.
The night – and all of its acts – raised some $300,000 for Everyman Theatre’s education and community engagement programs.
