Luminary Gala

Luminary Gala: Lighting the Stage, Supporting the Arts

Step into a world of holiday magic at the stunning Brooklyn Arts Center for an unforgettable evening of celebration and giving. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a glass of champagne as you’re transported into our enchanting holiday wonderland. Follow the glow of luminaries as they guide you to one of two festive cocktail hour stages, where musicians, dancers, and singers will set the mood for the night.

As you sip and savor, browse through our exclusive auction items and enjoy delicious bites, all while soaking in the warmth and joy of the season. Then, at 7 PM, the evening’s main event begins – a two-act concert like no other. Act 1 brings the best of Brian Whitted’s Very Merry Downtown Christmas Show, while Act 2 will feature star-studded performances of holiday classics from your OHTC favorites.

This night isn’t just about spectacular entertainment – it’s about community, generosity, and the gift of keeping theatre alive in Wilmington. We are more than just a stage; we are a family of artists, musicians, apprentices, and supporters who believe in the magic of live theatre. And we can’t do it without you.

Join us for a night of celebration, where holiday magic meets the heart of giving. Together, we’ll not only light up the stage but also ensure the spirit of theatre continues to shine brightly for years to come.
