By Lynda Wheatley | Jan. 29, 2022

Ready to feel the love? At 8pm Saturday, Feb. 12, City Opera House in Traverse City will host its 6th Annual Broadway on Front Gala. The theme: "Love Will Keep Us Together!" Expect exceptional Broadway talent, food, drinks, a live auction, and more. (Want a little teaser of just how amazing the night's entertainment will be? Check out YouTube to see and hear Broadway star Charity Angél Dawson (pictured above) perform "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess; she’ll be just one of the evening's knockout performers.) Besides being a fabulous, elegant night out, the star-studded event is a fundraiser that supports City Opera House and its youth arts education programs like Take it From the Top, which brings Broadway stars and industry professionals to City Opera House each August to teach students music, dance, and stagecraft. Learn more at cityoperahouse.org/tiftt. Student ticket, $15; others, $50+. More info at cityoperahouse.org.
