The Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival is in full swing and on Wednesday it was the crown jewel of the Festival, the Bacchanalia Gala Dinner + Auction. The wine was flowing and the bids were rising at this year’s premier annual fundraising event for the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company raising over $320,000 this year.
That we chose to celebrate and share the experience of fine wine for the benefit of great theatre demonstrates our community priorities as much as our personal tastes. With the funds generated, the Playhouse provides educational programs for the young, world-class theatre at accessible prices and regional resources for dozens of other theatre companies and artists in our community. I thank all of the participants from the enthusiastic bidders to the multitude of dedicated volunteers and staff that make this event a wine industry and arts fundraising success!
