Synapse Productions Spring Gala 2005 Overview

THANK YOU! With your help, the Sixth Annual Synapse Spring Gala proved to be an incredible evening, with more than 200 friends (both old & new) joining in the celebration! The Gala included live Jazz from The Funky Fritters, who filled the air with big band standards and their very own mix of New Orleans-style R&B, Blues and Jazz. This year's special guest, Charles Grodin reminded us of the power of persistence in creating provocative and inspiring theatre. Clams and oysters on the half shell and a bounty of food donations from our restaurant sponsors made for a fabulous feast. Guests enjoyed their Boru Vodka martinis and Bass Ale. . . . . .and danced into the night.
