The first and one of the largest (and most popular!) fund-raisers in Orange County is SCR’s annual Gala Ball.  This year’s event, Theatre Magic: The Black & White Ball will be held on September 10 at the Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel.

On Wednesday afternoon, July 13, members of SCR’s Gala Committee headed for Studio A on the third floor of the Education Department, usually a rehearsal room for the Theatre Conservatory.  But on this day, committee members had another goal:  to assemble and hand-address 300 invitations to the upcoming Gala—and attach a feather to each one!

Two hours later, the invitations were ready for the mail, and more will go out as the big day approaches.  For detailed information about how you can receive an invitation to this grand party that traditionally opens the theatrical and social seasons in Orange County, please contact Susan Reeder, Director of Development at (714) 708-5518.
