Actors Theater of Orcas Island (ATOI) is excited to announce their first gala fundraiser- ORCAS SINGS B'WAY!- to be held at the Grange on Saturday, October 25th at 7pm. Please join us for the show of a lifetime as your friends and neighbors sing their hearts out performing their favorite Broadway songs! Who knew that the guy who built your deck has a great baritone voice or that the young woman who cleans your house has perfect comic timing?

We have more than 16 Orcas locals who have summoned up their courage to present songs from a variety of Broadway shows including "West Side Story", "Oklahoma", "Hamilton", "Little Shop of Horrors", "Wicked" and many more.

Some great Orcas cooks are planning refreshments for your enjoyment during the evening-including, yes, Paula's cookies-and generous Orcas donors are providing a selection of wines.

Tickets for the evening are $45. All funds go to support ATOI, the non-profit group whose mission is to enhance our island with performances, education, and community building.

Tickets are available at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/6722742 or at Darvill's bookstore starting October 1st.
