Come one, come all to the Fairy Tale Ball!

This year's Fairy Tale Ball has come and gone but folks are still buzzing about this magical event combining families, food and fun.

The theme, Adventures in the Alps, corresponded to Theatre IV's Broadway for Families season finale, Rodgers & Hammerstein's The Sound of Music (which, by the way, got a rave in Sunday's RTD, check it out! And check out the Von Trapp children & Maria at right).

The Empire Theatre was alive with the sound of cute kids and glam grown-ups at Theatre IV's signature family gala event on May 1st. Many were overheard saying this year's ball was "the best one yet!"

The 13th annual ball netted over 30% more for Theatre IV's educational programs than last year's ball. This translates to more opportunities for more economically disadvantaged children and families in Central Virginia.

"Glückwünsche!" (congratulations) to Fairy Tale Ball Chair Caroline Harding and her wonderful committee, Special Events Manager Jennings Whiteway and her assistant Jessica Dennis, and all the hard-working staff and volunteers who made this event an evening to remember!

And special thanks to Robyn O'Neill for taking such beautiful photos!

See ya next year!
