it again this year.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>With theater
prop cabinets bursting at the hinges they have lots of things that can be used
for great decorations and what they don’t already have, their art department can
make. Partygoers will see tombstones and an old coffin that has been seen on
stage several times in show such as “Evita.” A number of female volunteers who
will spend the evening selling raffle tickets and leading contests will be made
up to look like “Frankenstein’s brides,” wearing old bridal gowns found in the
theater’s costume loft.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Tim Dorman,
who does much of the lighting design for the Arts Center’s theatrical
productions, will be designing lighting for the party as well as putting
together some old horror movie and spooky comedy show clips that will be shown
on the large expanse of walls in the gallery.</FONT></P>
