This festive evening will feature a pre-show party, as well as the chance to meet the playwright and the company of The Rogue Theatre.  The schedule of events is as follows:

• 6:00 P.M.: Beverages and hors d'oeuvres from Delectables Restaurant & Catering on 4th Avenue, featuring music by Bill Ronstadt, Bill Martin and Mindy Ronstadt.

• 7:15 P.M.: The Rogue Theatre's traditional musical pre-show.
• 7:30 P.M. : The performance of Animal Farm.
• A discussion with the cast, author and director follows the performance.
