followed by a vintage apparel showing, featuring the Women's History Museum collection, at 6:00
pm. At 7:15 pm will be a high fashion runway show with a special introduction
from Playhouse Artistic Director and Midsummer director Christopher Ashley.
The

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to Midsummer
for $40.00.
Admission to LOVE STRUCK is FREE and open
to all-ages. DJ Rob "Hitman" Hartz spins throughout. There will be a
full-service themed bar for 21 & up guests.
Produced by Jon Block Creations, and
