A Word From The Director

The Prologue

Somewhere behind a velvet drape, in a room that hums with candlelight and horns, two people who have spent years writing each other into the story are finally ready to make it official. Victoria & Herbert request the pleasure of your company for an evening steeped in 1940s glamour — equal parts sensual speakeasy, late-night supper club, and joyful, brassy celebration that runs well past midnight.

The Feature Presentation

Order of the Evening

Doors open at 2:30 PM sharp with a glass of welcome champagne — the show waits for no one.

Cast Party
The band goes big and brassy, the floor fills, and things get properly, joyfully chaotic.
