Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties has announced that community volunteers James and Sheila Michel will receive the Bill Wilcox Bow Tie Award.
This year’s theme, “Passport to Purpose,” celebrates the Michels’ commitment to the community and their love of travel.
They will be honored at the Bow Tie event and fundraiser on the evening of Nov. 16 at the DoubleTree in Oak Ridge. The event will feature appetizers, a cash bar, dinner, entertainment, and a live auction.
Event coordinators are currently seeking sponsorships for this year’s event. Sponsorships range from $500 to $5,000 and offer a variety of benefits.
Businesses, organizations and individuals are encouraged to participate. Interested parties should contact bowtie@adfac.org for more information.
The Bow Tie Award, established in 2013, honors the late Bill Wilcox’s dedication to the community by recognizing local leaders.
Proceeds from the Bow Tie event support the short- and long-term stability of ADFAC and its charitable programs. In addition to purchasing tickets, donations are a popular way to celebrate the honorees and support ADFAC.
Individual tickets will be available starting in September.
Oak Ridge Playhouse presents the musical “Nine” from July 19- 28.
The show is for PG-13 audiences.
It examines famed Italian film director Guido Contini’s world, blending reality and fantasy to explore love, passion, and artistic ambition.
Tickets are on sale now. To order them or for more information on their availability call the Oak Ridge Playhouse box office at 865-482-4877.
Oak Ridge Playhouse is at 227 Broadway Ave.
The book is by Arthur Kopit with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, and the show is adapted from the Italian by Mario Fratti based on Federico Fellini Felini’s “8½.”
“Our production of ‘Nine’ has been a fascinating challenge due to its departure from traditional musicals,” said Oak Ridge Playhouse Artistic Director Reggie Law..
“Similar to Fellini’s films, the narrative unfolds conceptually within Guido’s mind,” he said. “We delve into his thoughts, memories, and artistic consciousness, transcending time and space to emphasize emotional connections over physical proximity.
“This results in a staging that mirrors Guido’s cinematic profession, incorporating split-screen-like moments and rapid shifts akin to movie jump cuts,” Law said.
