Guests attending the Thingamajig Theatre Company gala July 26 enjoyed a sit-down dinner and an exciting cabaret-style concert performed by the summer Broadway in the Mountains musicals cast and also participated in spirited bidding in a live auction to support Pagosa’s only nonprofit professional theatre.
Now lucky auction winners are enjoying fun private gatherings with the actors… ranging from a poker night and private concerts to singing telegrams and a progressive dinner.
One of the most popular auction items was the campfire singalong shown above.
Three musicals — “Bright Star,” “Guys and Dolls”, and “SpongeBob Musical” — continue in rotation at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts through August 24. Tickets for the shows are available on the theatre’s website at pagosacenter.org… $42 for adults, and $25 for kids 12 and under. Evening performances are at 7pm and matinees are at 2pm.
“Bright Star,” set in North Carolina in the 1920s and ’40s, features a bluegrass score composed by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. “Guys and Dolls” is a romantic comedy involving a high-rolling gambler and a strait-laced missionary set in Damon Runyon’s New York City with a side trip to Havana, Cuba. “SpongeBob Musical,” a family-friendly show based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series, takes place in the underwater world of Bikini Bottom.
