The Crucible’s 12th Anniversary Benefit
January 14 & 15, 2011 • 7-11pm
(Doors open at 7pm and show starts at 8pm)
Press Release
A fiery benefit for The Crucible’s educational programs honoring the work of our founder, Michael Sturtz
To mark the departure of Crucible Founder Michael Sturtz from his role on The Crucible’s staff, we are celebrating his vision and creativity by bringing back the show-stopping greatest hits of performances past. The Crucible’s 12th Anniversary Benefit is a Revival – Crucible style. In the tradition of the theater, we are reviving our most beloved and spectacular moments. As for the traditional revival meeting – our approach may be irreverent but our objectives are pure: we’re seeking to engage and inspire our most loyal members and friends and to end each night with a new legion of Crucible converts.
Join Master of Ceremonies Mark Growden as he soulfully sings his way through a fast paced, jaw dropping line-up of music, dance, aerial, fire and much more. Expect reprisals of unforgettable moments from Crucible stage shows, stunning surprises and plenty of fire from a veritable Who’s Who of Bay Area favorites, including many Crucible friends and collaborators. We’ll also be showcasing the industrial arts in a whole new light as only The Crucible can. Faculty and students will perform amazing feats with glass, metal, fire and more.
This not to be missed event is an homage to Michael Sturtz’s 12 years of leadership and his visionary approach to blending the visual, industrial and performing arts. It’s also a benefit for The Crucible’s arts educational programs, dynamic events and community outreach. All proceeds from tickets sales will support The Crucible’s future programs and work with artists, students and audiences of all ages. By purchasing tickets, you are helping to keep the fire burning and to ensure our continued success in the years to come.
