SHAKESPEARE'S PROM NIGHT
Benefits Great Lakes Theater Festival

Great Lakes Theater Festival (GLTF) will revel with guests from across
northeast  Ohio at SHAKESPEARE'S PROM NIGHT, an exuberant prom-themed
benefit event, on Saturday, May 21st at Cleveland Grays Armory.
Commencing with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at 6:30 p.m., the evening's
festivities include a crowning of GLTF's Prom King and Queen, Tim and
Lynn Pistell, a robust silent auction, entertainment provided by the
acclaimed dance band The Bottom Line and a gourmet dinner created by
Marigold Catering.

"At Shakespeare's Prom Night, there are no chaperones...just a whole lot
of fun," said GLTF Benefit Chair, Robyn Barrie.  "Great Lakes Theater
Festival's yearly benefit has become a real favorite of the community
over the past several seasons because it is a fun night out.  I promise
that this year is no different.  Sample our spiked punch at the door,
enjoy the extraordinary musical entertainment of one of our region's
finest dance bands, savor Marigold Catering's fine cuisine and mix and
mingle with Festival friends and family - all while supporting a great
cause. It's going to be a blast! If you've never been to a Great Lakes
Theater Festival benefit before, this is the year to join us."

Shakespeare's Prom Night playfully embraces many of the signature
elements traditionally associated with a high school prom. Patrons are
encouraged to don vintage prom wear from all eras or wear classic
cocktail apparel. Partygoers are also invited to continue their prom
celebration by attending an optional after-prom party at the Wyndham
Hotel at PlayhouseSquare's Blue Bar. A special, after-prom room-rate of
$99 (plus tax) is available at the Wyndham for patrons who wish to
extend their stay overnight in downtown Cleveland. To reserve a room and
secure the special after-prom rate, interested parties should contact
the Wyndham at (866) 270-6768 or (216) 615-7500 and ask for the Great
Lakes Theater Festival room block by May 2nd.

The Shakespeare's Prom Night silent auction features dozens of amazing
and unique items, highlighted by weekend theater trips to San Francisco,
Chicago, Washington DC and Denver, a special batting practice experience
with the Indians and other sports packages, a private piano performance
with 2007 Grammy Award winner Angelin Chang, and other great
opportunities.

Individual tickets for Shakespeare's Prom Night start at $250.
Corporate tables for the event begin at $3,500.  For ticket reservations
