The special invitation to the Gala…make sure you’re in the “in Crowd” with Jay Gatsby and Daisy!

It’s time to join Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan and help celebrate 40 years of top professional theater at the Red Barn Theatre! A night of Roaring 20’s fun and shenanigans in a gorgeous home on the water in Key West, with nothing but the finest in food, drink, and entertainment.

It all happens Sunday, February 9th, from 5-8 pm at the spectacular home of Kay and John Behmke, 51 Front Street in Truman Annex. Long known for its elegance — and the stunning sunset view over the water — the Behmke’s have opened their home to the Red Barn for this special evening.

A full menu of mouth-watering foods will be provided by the Iron Chefs, an Open Bar will serve you drinks of the day, and entertainment will be provided by the one and only Bobby Nesbitt. AND…as a special “Thank You” to all who attend and support this fundraising effort…everyone will receive a special token bottle of bubbly with which to raise a glass in support of the very special lady the Red Barn Theatre is.

And that’s not all! One lucky bidder in the only auction of the night will be taking home a special bottle of Rye Whiskey, bootlegged in Templeton, Iowa from the same recipe and by the same family that used to make the whiskey for none other than Al Capone back in the 20’s. It took a special trip and a nefarious bit of “under the radar” bargaining to get the bottle, but one was procured and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. For those wishing to give it a taste, the Red Barn crew managed to get a second bottle, which they will be offering at the bar that evening.

So it’s time for the ladies to don that flapper dress and the men to strap on the cummerbund…Jay and Daisy will be making a special appearance at the gala, and you’ll definitely want to get yourself in a photo with them!

And don’t worry about the Oscars that night…the party will be over just as Hollywood’s big night is getting started, so you won’t miss a glamorous moment.

All proceeds benefit the Red Barn Theatre as they move into their next great 40 years. Come and raise a glass to her, and have yourself a swinging good time!
