Everyman Theatre’s home at 315 West Fayette Street will transform into a vibrant space of entertainment, food, and drink featuring a selection of culinary creations and delectable desserts by the renowned Classic Catering People and handcrafted cocktails, including a signature drink created specifically for the event. Highlights of the night will include a concert by Baltimore’s own Tracie Thoms and a post-show dance party with tunes provided by A-MAN the DJ.
