Cyrano’s Theatre Company, located in downtown Anchorage, is hosting its Friend-Raiser on Wednesday, September 29 to help raise funds for its upcoming 2011 season at Cyrano’s Off-Center Playhouse.
The Friend-Raiser will be a time to debut the playhouse where attendees will get to view an intimate back stage tour of the theater. Suggested donations are $30. Sandy Harper, the lively owner of Cyrano’s, assures that this event will please the theater-lovers’ appetite. She is very passionate about her theater and wants to open this season with a bang.
All proceeds not only pay for the viewing of the dress rehearsal, but also for the overall theater. Refreshments of wine and hors d'oeuvres will be offered. Harper and her husband, Jerry, also plan on honoring two outstanding volunteers for their work devoted to the company. This is a new tradition to start this season.
There will be a teaser dress rehearsal of the theater’s first show of this season, “The Seafarer” written by Conor McPherson, the top Irish playwright. Harper says how this show will feature five juicy male roles as a way to entice the viewers to come and see the play.
The nonprofit company operates year-round with a different play every month. Other upcoming events to look for the rest of this fall season are “Winter Bear” by Anne Hanley and “Assimilation” by Jack Dalton, both Alaska writers. These will premiere at the playhouse between Oct. 29 and Nov. 21. “This is Where We Came In” by Alan Ayckbourn will be a winter play premiering Dec. 3 through 22, just in time for the holidays with families that would like to attend.
Cyrano’s Theatre Company is located on Fourth Avenue and D Street downtown. Tickets to upcoming shows can be purchased by calling (907)-263-ARTS or by visiting CenterTix.net. Harper suggests asking for 10 Play Punchcards by directly calling Cyrano’s at (907)-274-2599 where viewers can obtain punch cards to see 10 different shows while directly supporting the theater.
