Evolve is proud to support Theater Alliance at the H Street Playhouse, located at 1365 H Street NE.  After a short vacation our Second Saturday events return with Art 4 Art which has now become a terrific spring-time tradition!

THE THEATER ALLIANCE ART

BENEFIT WHERE EVERYBODY WINS.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

1. Send in $200 ($350 for 2) and get a ticket for the thrid annual Theater Alliance Art4Art benefit.
2. on Saturday, March 10, 2007 enjoy a special performance of Insurrection at the H Street Playhouse at 5PM.  Then walk over to Pierce School Lofts when the show ends.  (Or you may attend another performance during the run.  In that case, come to Pierce School at 7:30.)
3. Eat, drink, schmooze, listen to music, meet Helen Hayes award nominated actors, designers and directors.  Meet some winners, too!
4. Wander teh halls and see great art created by local artists.  Most are one of a kind.
5. Listen up at about 9PM when we'll start drawing names.  Each person chooses a piece of that great art when his or her name is called.  We promise the first piece of art will be as good as the last piece.
6. New this year!  Pay attention throughout the evening as live auctions are held for five extra special pieces of art.  Watch theateralliance.com for details!
7. Be happy.  You've given money to a great cause and you are going home with a piece of art.  What's not to like?
