The Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga will kickoff its partnership with Barking Legs Theater by hosting a mini FUN-raising event on Monday, Feb. 26.
“As we redefine who we are, what we offer and how we offer it, we were really just looking for something new and out of the box," said Executive Director Garry Lee Posey. "An event where an experience could be had and the many talents of some of our ensemble could be displayed. Something that was unique to what other groups offer.” Such became Divas and Desserts.
Divas and Desserts is a 90-minute event featuring homemade desserts, wine, and an evening of performances from some of the leading female impersonators in the area. Each of these events will be built around a theme, and many of the entertainers are regulars on the ETC stage. While alcohol will be present, the performances will be family friendly.
The theme for Feb. 26 is Broadway Babies. The entertainers will be preparing and performing numbers from New York, the big screen, and television.
Event organizer and Associate Artistic Director for ETC Ryan Laskowski said, “We will have live singing, some dancing and of course some of the tightest lip synchs in the city.”
Performers include Allysa Paige, T’yana Montice, Robyn Houses-Paige and Ophelia Cox.
Divas and Desserts is a one of a kind event helping the Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga realize its potential and to continue enriching the cultural landscape of Chattanooga. Now in it’s 11th year of producing live theatre in Chattanooga, ETC just launched its 2018 season with Next to Normal and will be opening its second production of Dancing at Lugghnasa on March 8.
