The American Cabaret Theatre & The Athenaeum Foundation Present: "Dinners, Desserts & Divas" The American Cabaret Theatre and the Athenaeum Foundation present Dinners, Desserts, and Divas, a fundraising event unlike anything seen in central Indiana. "Dinners, Desserts, and Divas" will be a divine evening of delicious food, friends, and fun to benefit the American Cabaret Theatre and the Athenaeum Foundation. This fundraising event will not be your typical black tie gala complete with rubber chicken and yet another silent auction. How Does It Work? It is as simple as having a party for friends! Individuals throughout the Indianapolis area sign up as a party host and invite friends over for an evening of dinner and dessert. Invited friends make a contribution in an amount set by the host to attend the private party. For a minimum donation of $100 guests can attend a private party with friends and enjoy a production at the American Cabaret Theatre, all on the same day. For $50.00 individuals can attend the Cabaret production only and enjoy the evening with partygoers from around the city. All monies collected are tax deductible and will go to benefit the American Cabaret Theatre and the Athenaeum Foundation. When Will It Happen? On the evening of April 12th, private parties will be held throughout the city. These individual private parties will culminate that evening as partygoers arrive at the theatre around 9pm for dessert and performances from past, present and future "Divas"of the stage. Why Be a Host? It is simple and it benefits two wonderful organizations that have contributed to the cultural milieu of Indianapolis. It is a great way to make a charitable contribution all while having fun. Hosts have the flexibility to entertain how and when they want, at their home or another location, cook or cater their dinner party. Hosts have the option to have their gathering on either that Friday or Saturday evening. How Can I Sign Up? Go to www.actindy.org and complete the Host form or contact Martha Bonds at 317-536-9322 or via email at Martha@eventsolutionsone.com to sign up. Where Does The Money Go? With ticket sales accounting for less than 50% of the American Cabaret Theatre's expenses to produce the high quality shows that hit the stage, and the Athenaeum Foundation's mission to maintain and improve the Historic Athenaeum Building - both organizations depend upon the generous support of businesses and individual donors to keep their doors open. Located in the heart of the Arts & Theater cultural district your involvement goes to support two organizations where arts and culture flourish. Your participation makes a difference. CONTRIBUTE TO THE ATHENAEUM - BRICK BY BRICK! Make a lasting contribution/impression by purchasing a $150 brick in our "Memorial Pathway." 500 Athenaeum supporters - or someone else they wish to honor - will go down in history on this pathway to be located outside the Athenaeum on Michigan Street.
