New Space, Same Great Talent: SVT's Labor Party!
For the sixth year in a row, though this time in a spankin' new space, Salvage Vanguard Theater is hosting their big ol' Labor Party, this Saturday at 7:07pm. They'll have tunes spun up by DJ Manateemann, a "Presentation Fantasmical" at 7:27pm, and a Silent Auction with all sorts of goodies to bid on.
The purpose of the Labor Party is to raise funds for SVT's Resident Company Member program, which pays an annual stipend of $5,000 to support four local artists who live and work in Austin. Current members are Dan Dietz, Lee Eddy, Jenny Larson, and Graham Renolds. SVT"s goal is to raise $40,000 and add another member, local lighting designer Diana Duecker. Although it can be tough for an artist to earn a living wage in Austin, programs such as this can make our fair city an attractive place for actors, playwrights, directors, designers, and composers to live and thrive.
While all that is reason enough to drop by the shindig, we can also assure you that a fun time will be had by all, and you're sure to rub elbows with Austin's best and brightest at this eagerly anticipated, annual affair. So hop on the #20 and get yourself over to SVT this Saturday!
