Third Avenue Playhouse Plans Sunset Cruise Benefit, July 17
Posted on 30. Jun, 2010 by Judy Drew in Heritage
Very few things say Door County more than the beautiful waters surrounding the peninsula and our spectacular summer sunsets.
Fred A. Busse, City of Chicago Fireboat
Third Avenue Playhouse plans to take full advantage of both when they hold A Little Night Music, an event for the benefit of the theater, on Saturday, July 17. Registration for the event will begin at 5:30 pm with the cruise departing the Sturgeon Bay city dock adjacent to the Door County Maritime Museum at 6 pm.
Guests will cruise the waters of Sturgeon Bay aboard the Fred A. Busse. Originally designed as a City of Chicago Fireboat, The Fred A. Busse was built in Bay City, Michigan in 1937 and is similar to two other fire fighting vessels, the Victor Schlaeger and the Joseph Medill, constructed in Sturgeon Bay shortly after World War II. It served the Chicago Fire Department for many years and now houses a small museum dedicated to Chicago’s firefighting efforts.
Once underway, attendees will enjoy a delicious meal while experiencing picturesque lighthouses and miles of shoreline. Entertainment will be provided by Ben Larsen and Dan Mayhew. The high-energy duo are fresh from the successful premiere of Duct Tape: The Musical and will perform some of the show’s hilarious songs during the cruise. A silent auction is also part of the evening’s festivities. This year guests will have the opportunity to bid on a catered outdoor party complete with musical entertainment.
Tickets for A Little Night Music are $40 per person and are tax-deductible. Space is limited. Reservations are strongly encouraged. Call 920.743.1760 for more information or to purchase tickets.
