Proceeds from the event will launch an “arts enrichment campaign” that is targeting the purchase of new lighting and rigging equipment for the auditorium stage. The campaign goal is $36,000, according to Maureen Johnson, event chair.
The event includes hors d’oeuvres and cocktails with an array of entertainment, including the Barrington High School Woodwind Quartet, Jazz Band, and Choral Ensemble and the Stagemasters drama club. Pat McGee of Barrington, a noted songwriter and singer, will be a special guest.
