Crocodile!!!

Posted by Catherine Dudley

Theatre IV's 11th Annual Fairy Tale Ball is coming up on April 5th and we are preparing the Empire Theatre for it's coming. For those of you that don't know what the Fairy Tale Ball is- let me fill you in. It is our annual black-tie/costume fundraiser for the company. The theme for the evening is designed around the closing show of our season- this years is Peter Pan. The theatre gets a full makeover; the stage becomes a dance floor with The Jangling Reinharts serving as our band for the evening, decorations abound, a giant tent fully stocked with food galore (sweet and savory), drink bars (for adults and kids), and all kinds of different games and activities. There is also a silent and live auction with amazing prizes, both big and small, to bid on.

I bring this up why? To introduce you to our mascot for the event and our Peter Pan representative- the crocodile!

The crocodile is based on Robert Meganck's gorgeous illustrations for the invitations this year, and David and Terrie Powers have worked long and hard to bring to life this GIANT reptile that will live atop our marquee for the run of Peter Pan.

The crocodile comes with one small warning/disclaimer...

If you live in Richmond and happen to drive down Broad Street, please don't slow down and rubber neck at him. Drive with caution!

His clock really tells time! Cool huh?
