Summer Season
A Celebration, A Show, 
A Hoopla for the Cupola
 
One of Tibbits' G Millermost exciting
summer theatre openings awaits this Thursday, June 25 with an evening packed with celebration and song. The season officially begins with the musical "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." Music, comedy and dance are rolled together into a story that's sure to please. The lovable gold-digger Lorelei Lee and her girlfriend sail for Paris in search of rich men and diamonds...after all, Diamonds ARE a Girl's Best Friend.
 
The celebration begins at 6 pm with a unique After Business Hours event in the middle of Hanchett Street right in front of the theatre. The event is a first time collaboration with the Angola and Branch Area Chambers of Commerce.  Drinks, hors d'oeuvres, raffles and door prizes are included in the $10 admission price ($5 for Chamber members).
 
Following the show join us as we dedicate the new cupola, officially light it for the first time and raise the flag in true celebration.

Greetings!

The day to day activity at Tibbits is always busy, but as we approach the opening of summer theatre the pace has been borderline frantic.  We really are anxious for the season to begin.  It's such an exciting line-up and we have such an incredible company. 
 
I hope to see you often this summer.  This is a great time to put the worries on the back burner and treat yourself to an evening of great entertainment in the incredible setting of the Tibbits Opera House. And please bring friends!
 
Sincerely,
