Black Tie on the Blacktop Fundraising Event for the Arts

Detroit, MI - The Meadow Brook Theatre has one goal for its upcoming Black Tie on the Blacktop fundraiser and concert — “Continuing to raise the bar of the arts we produce,” according to Artistic Director Travis Walter.  The benefit, which takes place Saturday at the theater on the Oakland University Campus, is a first for Meadow Brook and is designed to “get forward into our 50th anniversary,” Walter says. The evening includes a strolling dinner with food from Buddy’s Pizza, Lelli’s, Whole Foods, Mitchell’s Fishmarket, Busch’s Market and others. Tommy James — hitmaker of “Mony Mony” and “Crimson and Clover” — performs at 8 p.m., and the night also includes a silent auction, book signing and car show.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
