Light Up CenterStage is bigger and better than ever; get your tickets now

Saturday, December 7, is the date and the Jewish Community Center is the place. You’ll want to be there at 7 p.m., dressed in your finest, when the curtain goes up on Light Up CenterStage 2013.

Once you open the doors, you’ll be part of one of the hottest nightclub scenes in town. Enjoy cocktails from the open bar and fabulous hors d’oeuvres while you check out a wide variety of packages in the silent auction.

This year’s event will be bigger and better than years past, said Light Up CenterStage Chair Sarah Harlan. “We’re moving the silent auction to the upper gym,” although by the time Eventualities does its magic, you’ll forget where you are. The room will accommodate a stylish bar and high-top tables for casual, sophisticated conversation. The perimeter will be lined with silent auction tables that will give partiers plenty of room to view the offerings and check on the status of their bids.

In fact, the move means this year’s event can accommodate 250 people in the auditorium for the show. That means this year 50 more people can join the fun.

To add to the excitement, CenterStage will also be raffling a “spectacular trip to New York,” Harlan said. The trip, valued at $1900, includes round trip airfare for two, a two-night hotel stay in the Big Apple, $200 for shows on Broadway, a night of fine dining at Marseille and $300 cash. “Tickets are only $50 and only 150 will be sold, so people have a pretty good chance of winning.”

Of course, Light Up is much more than a silent auction with hors d’oeuvres and beverages. At 8:15 the stars of the CenterStage company will present an original Broadway revue.

Cap the evening off with a wide selection of indulgent desserts.
