You’re Invited: A Night on Broadway (In Wisconsin)
You’re Invited: A Night on Broadway (In Wisconsin)Who doesn’t dream of getting dressed up for a night out at a Broadway show or taking part in a gala or award ceremony?!
Well, here’s your chance to support the local arts AND wear your fanciest frocks!
Being from the Midwest, those opportunities are few and far between, so I’m excited to share one coming up that I think many of you will be interested in!
The Monroe Theater Guild will be hosting a special Open House and gala with the theme “A Night on Broadway.” All are invited to attend and, of course, encouraged to dress up.
I’m currently costuming my second play with MTG, so I dug through the costume closet to pull out five outfit ideas you might want to recreate for the big event.
Keep reading to learn more and get inspired!
What Is The Monroe Theater Guild?
Before I share the gala outfits, I want to back up and tell you a little more about the Monroe Theater Guild.
The Monroe Theater Guild is a theater company local to Monroe, Wisconsin, that was started in 1970. It regularly delivers seasonal shows to the region, including musicals, dramas, comedies, and everything in between. There are also classes, special events (like the gala!), and the space is available to rent for your own private gatherings.
I have personally been involved sporadically since I was younger, acting in shows here and there, then took a long break and am back using my talents in the costume department!
The Monroe Theater Guild is a huge asset to Monroe and the surrounding areas. It’s a creative outlet, a platform for important issues, a thriving space for the arts, and a great place to meet the most interesting people!
5 Vintage Inspired Gala Outfit Ideas
The costume closet at the Monroe Theater Guild is filled to the brim with decades of the most amazing vintage clothes. As a fashion lover, I’m like a kid in a candy store when I walk through those doors.
I channeled all that excitement into pulling looks that felt like they could be worn to an award show, especially the Tonys. There are a lot of fabulous archival photos to be found online, and I found myself drawn to many looks worn by entertainers in the 1970s and 1980s.
Funny enough, Carol Channing came up over and over again while I was building my mood board. Her sparkles and sass left me inspired!
Hopefully, these looks get your creative gears turning, and you can pull out something similar from your closet or visit a thrift store to buy something totally unique!
