The event, “Broadway Magic! Gala: Do You Hear the People Sing?,” will feature music from popular musicals such as “Hamilton,” “1776,” “West Side Story” and “Les Misérables” to raise money for the community chorus.
The evening, with black ties optional, will begin with a reception featuring appetizers, beverages, raffle drawings and a silent auction before the music starts, showcasing the talent of several local performers. The auction and raffle items include an American flag quilt created by Kathleen Ritzman, a Gearhart golf package, a coffee lover’s basket from Elk City Coffee, a Salishan Resort getaway and a wheelbarrow filled with wine, whiskey and other surprises.
Performers include Jason Holland, McKenna Hoover, Gidget Manucci and Marc Montminy, with Jennifer VanBruggen Hamilton serving as narrator and Marie Read accompanying on piano.
