CAPE MAY – Blow the dust off grandma’s fringed flapper dress, bob your hair, and kick up your heels in your best Charleston: Cape May Stage, South Jersey’s premiere Equity theatre, is hosting A Gatsby Gala! Relive the days of the Roaring 20s with music, dancing and dinner at an elegant fundraising event at The Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May (1819 County Highway 640, Cape May, NJ) on Sun., June 24 at 6 p.m.
The gala will feature vintage cars, elegant flapper dresses, great music, period décor, dinner and dancing, and lots of surprises. Start the evening off right by sipping a complimentary champagne cocktail among beautiful Cape May harbor views. Dine on a feast of gastronomic delights while taking advantage of a plentiful cash bar. Guests will dance the night away to live tunes provided by Purple Reign- Philadelphia’s ‘Triple Threat Band’. Boasting a “kickin’ rhythm section, smokin’ horns, and the best vocals on the east coast,” Purple Reign is one of the Philly area’s most sought after musical acts.
In addition, the Stage has assembled both a live and silent auction that will feature scores of exciting items for guests to bid upon. For art lovers, highlights include original artwork by renowned artists including Marie Natale and David Clemans, and a beautiful hand painted wooden table by local artist Peri. Food lovers will enjoy bidding on private cooking classes with dinner for six, a wine pairing with live entertainment and dinner for six, or a Vintage Croquet and Lawn Tea Party for 16 couples.
Also, there’ll be gift certificates to gourmet Cape May restaurants, luxurious gift baskets by Enfin Farms, Seaside Cheese, and so much more.
If you prefer to travel, there are several overnight and weekend stays available, sure to satisfy every type of traveler. For the city types, there’s an overnight suite at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City with dinner for four at the James Beard Foundation. Regional travelers will delight in bidding on an overnight stay at The Inn at Canal Square, situated on the waterfront in historic Lewes, DE. You can expect bidding to be tight for a Philadelphia getaway in Washington Square including theatre tickets at The Walnut Street Theatre and dinner at Tallulah’s Table. If you prefer more secluded lodgings, you’ll be treated like royalty at a one-night stay at the beautiful Sweetwater Farm Bed & Breakfast in Glen Mills, PA. The Royal Family of Monaco has spent many happy years vacationing at the Sweetwater, as the property is owned by the nephew of the late Princess Grace.
