The big bash will feature dozens of performers from the upcoming main stage series, children’s series, live music series and much more.

Tickets will be $15 at the door and will go to benefit the season of live theatre that began with “Murder Ballad” in September and runs until June. All tickets include a “buy one get one free” voucher for any main stage or children’s series performance.

This one-night only event will introduce attendees to the various offerings at the theatre, including live theatre, film, and live music. There will be a rock band playing as patrons enjoy a drink or dinner or peruse the various booths to learn more about programming at The Bijou.

The evening will also feature exclusive short animations from children’s book author Jim DeVivo, alongside clips of successful past productions. Theatre lovers will have the opportunity to watch previews of upcoming shows, including live performances from “Assassins,” “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,” and “The Witch, The Broom and The Cauldron.”

The Bijou Benefit Bash will help raise funds for new and additional lavaliere microphones, which are necessary to the upcoming productions of main stage and children’s theatre. The upcoming shows that will be directly benefited by all proceeds include “Assassins” in November, “Santa’s Crazier Christmas” in December, “12 Angry Men” in January, “Super Zeros” and “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” in April, and “Hamlet” and “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” in May.

The Bijou Performing Arts Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing visual and performing arts programs and events for the community. It is located at 275 Fairfield Ave. in Downtown Bridgeport.
