Tri-M Productions presents
“Annual Tri-M Gala: A Lovely Night.”
Returning again this year on Friday, September 18 to the New Mexico Governor’s Mansion, our theme will feature our Thanksgiving production, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA Enchanted Edition. We’re planning a Lovely Night; you might not “meet your prince” (or princess) but will meet and mix with our Tri-M talent while enjoying heavy hors d’oeuvres and feathery desserts with pink and glittery drinks. We hope to have your hosts in fairytale costumes with Cinderella motifs (glass slippers, carriage centerpieces, midnight strikes of the clock).
You too can put on a formal gown and step out for an evening of magic and song – or dress as you wish and just enjoy the Lovely Night!
Tickets $150 each, $100 tax-deductible, to benefit our company and keep us delivering the musicals people love!
The Evening Itself
Sip a specialty cocktail—Cinderella's Pink Palace (gin) or The Prince's Blues (tequila)—or a glass of white wine from Black Mesa Winery, paired with heavy hors d'oeuvres and dessert from Market Street. (No red wine inside, to protect the Mansion's beautiful artwork.)
A docent from the Museum of New Mexico will be on hand to share the history of the Mansion, with plenty of time to mingle with fellow theater lovers and the Tri-M family.
A first taste of Cinderella
Some of the cast of our upcoming production will treat you to a few beloved songs from the show:
"Impossible" — Rae Dobrovolsky (Fairy Godmother) & Arwyn Vernold (Cinderella)
"In My Own Little Corner" — Arwyn Vernold
"The Sweetest Sound" — Jonathan Cordova (Prince Christopher)
"The Stepsisters' Lament" — Kay Matich & Bianca Medina-Montoya
All accompanied by the incomparable Kathlene Ritch.
