Raising the Curtain: ‘Wicked’ Fundraiser

Raising the Curtain Foundation hosts “The Masterclass Fundraiser and Performance – A Theatrical Journey Through Wicked.” This two-day event will give aspiring young performers an immersive experience working alongside Broadway actors Jenny DiNoia (“Wicked”) and Paul Pegler (“Tick, Tick, BOOM!”). The journey takes three paths – on Friday night, students will work on audition pieces with guidance from DiNoia and Peglar. Space is limited to 12 students. On Saturday morning, 30 students will dive into the world of “Wicked” with a workshop (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) that will provide an authentic rehearsal experience, like those on Broadway. The community is invited to a showcase at 7 p.m. Saturday, featuring students from the workshops and special performances by DiNoia and Peglar. Tickets for the workshops ($200-$250) and showcase ($55) are available at www.raisingthecurtainfoundation.org.
