Spread the First Stage love and join us at the 2016 Make Believe Ball!

Dear First Stage Families:

As we reflect on 2015, our family remembers the many wonderful experiences we’ve had through our involvement in First Stage:

• Entertaining, professional musicals and plays that we attended as a family
• Enriching summer academy classes for our four oldest children (Grace, our 5 year old, can’t wait to start summer academy this year!)
• Jack’s role as an elf and young buck in Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, the Musical

First Stage touches our lives in so many fulfilling ways and we welcome the opportunity to give back by attending the Make Believe Ball as an extended family. For the past two years, all seven of us and Bladen’s parents have attended the Make Believe Ball and we’ve had a blast!  It’s truly a multi-generational event, catering equally well to both adults and children. The ball's silent and voice auction is a great example of the dual focus on children and adults. First Stage Young Performers will be excited to note that there are always one-of-a-kind, show-specific auction items and experiences available at the auctions. In typical First Stage fashion, the quality and execution of the event is impeccable.

So if you share our family’s love for First Stage, please consider giving back to this wonderful organization that does so much for all our families and the greater community. We would love to see you at the Make Believe Ball, An Enchanted Evening, on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at the Hilton Milwaukee Center. If you cannot attend the ball, but would still like to contribute to its success, please consider providing a silent auction donation or other sponsorship.  

Please contact Gena Fischer at gfischer@firststage.org for more details.  An invitation to this year’s ball will be arriving in the mail soon. If you would like to register for the Make Believe Ball, please go to: www.FirstStage.org/mbb. 

We look forward to seeing you at the ball or another First Stage event in the near future!

Warmly,

The Burns Family

Julia and Bladen, Jack, Reed, Margaux, Colin, and Grace
