Hosts, Wendy & Bill Holmes and Mary & Ken Weber along with Special Guest, Jeff Daniels, invite you to a Valentines party tied up in red ribbon for romantics, dreamers, and rug-cutters alike. They’ve taken care of everything for you — theatre reservations, cocktails, dinner, great music, celebrities, dancing. You need only supply the Valentine(s).
The party begins at the Purple Rose at 4:00pm with the world premiere of CORKTOWN, an outrageous dark comedy about a sensitive Detroit hitman who discovers that love can pull a gun and back you into a corner when you least expect it. The party continues with cocktails, wine, and sumptuous dinner at Weber’s Inn, where guests can dance a Fox Trot, Bop, Boogie, or tap their toes to the incomparable music of Dave Bennett.
Bennett has performed with over 20 orchestras including eight concerts with the Detroit Symphony. He was guest soloist with The Count Basie Orchestra and was featured at the Arizona Classic, San Diego, and Edmonton International Jazz Festivals as well as Switzerland’s Bern Jazz Festival. Bennett is not limited to jazz and swing and although he’s a clarinetist, he plays a mean boogie woogie piano.
Astonish your Valentine(s) at a party never to be forgotten. Funds raised from this benefit will provide critical support for the Purple Rose, a nationally acclaimed, award-winning, non-profit theatre.
