Syracuse Stage Continues 50th-Anniversary Celebration With ‘Cast Party’ Fundraiser

Syracuse Stage will continue its 50th-anniversary celebration on June 1 with the “Cast Party,” a fresh take on its annual fundraiser.

Featuring cuisine from local restaurants, a red carpet for guests to walk and have their photo taken and appearances from local favorites TeNesha Murphy, Al Annotto and David Lowenstein, the Cast Party is a departure from the traditional “gala” and invites guests to “come as they are,” whether that’s in their favorite dress or dressed up in their favorite jeans.

Syracuse Stage is continuing its 50th-anniversary celebrations with the “Cast Party” fundraiser.

The lively, on-site event will celebrate Syracuse Stage’s biggest stars—50 years of generous, loyal patrons and supporters—and will be held at the company’s home at 820 E. Genesee St. in Syracuse.

Lowenstein, who audiences will recognize from his many roles in Syracuse Stage productions such as “The Wizard of Oz,” “Hairspray,” and most recently “A Christmas Carol,” will provide live entertainment in the Archbold Theatre. All proceeds from the Cast Party support artistic, community engagement and educational programming at Syracuse Stage.

“We can’t wait to open the doors to the kind of fun and unique evening only a theatre can create, all in support of Stage’s work in the community,” says Jill A. Anderson, managing director.  “With one-of-a-kind activities and entertainment, this event will be a great chance to celebrate!”

Syracuse Stage will also host a silent auction that is open to both Cast Party attendees and the general public. Bidding is open for the online silent auction and includes a wide variety of unique items and priceless experiences, some starting at $30. A full list of items and descriptions is available for viewing and bidding online.

Interested participants can register for the auction online, or by texting “castparty” to 76278. Items available for bidding include a four-day golf vacation in Ireland; travel opportunities with round-trip airfare and deluxe accommodations to Cancun and the Berkshires; exclusive opportunities at Syracuse Stage, including tickets and chances to engage with artistic staff; specialty gift baskets; restaurant packages; and much more. Bidding closes on Sunday, June 2 at 9 p.m.
