Port Angeles Fine Arts Center’s dinner-auction to be ‘in Paris’

PORT ANGELES — The “Ten-Minute American in Paris,” presented by a Port Angeles theater troupe, will be the centerpiece of the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center’s gala dinner and auction at C’est Si Bon, 23 Cedar Park Drive, on Wednesday evening.

Tickets are $100 including the French feast by chef Michele Juhasz, and wines from Camaraderie Cellars, with proceeds to benefit the fine arts center’s programs.

The “American in Paris” vignette will star dancer and actress Anna Unger as Lise; Richard Stephens as her fiance, Henri; and Sean Peck-Collier as the American Jerry (Gene Kelly’s role in the classic movie). Portraying de Milo is Sarah Tucker, writer of the sped-up play.

Also during the 6 p.m. gala, guests will have a chance to taste Camaraderie’s new Plein Air Limited Vintage wine, made especially for the fine arts center and labeled with Emiliya Lane’s painting of the Olympic coastline.

Tickets to a prize drawing for an unrestricted $1,000 travel voucher from Susan Parr Travel will be available for $50 each, and the winner will be announced at the gala, added Robin Anderson, executive director of the fine arts center.

The gala also features silent and live auctions of fine art, travel packages and other items.
