Freeport, Grand Bahama Island - Patrons of the premiere night for “RAISIN,” the
Raisin in the Sun Musical, at the Regency Theatre on Friday, February 20, 2015,
will be feted after the musical in a fashion never before seen on the island of
Grand Bahama.
In collaboration with the Elden-McGlone Production
Team, the Rotary Club of Lucaya is partnering with the Freeport Players’ Guild
to provide the audience with a night to remember. Prior to the production, attendees will be
given the exquisite “Rotarian salute,” the signature drink of the club. After
the production, their palates will be sated with culinary delights and choice
beverages from Bahamian Brewery to cap of a truly memorable evening.
The classic Broadway musical features some of the island’s
finest talents, as well as some surprise performances and is expected to “bring
the house down”.
Members of the public will just have to come out to
see what is in store for them and experience the excitement and enjoyment that
“Afterglow” provides. Tickets, which are limited, are $40.00 each and can be
obtained from any member of the Rotary Club of Lucaya or at the Bell Channel
Inn. Group seating is also available.

Part proceeds from this Gala Night will be used for
the Rotary Club of Lucaya's 2015 signature project – The High School Smart
Board Program. President of the Club, Clifford Bowe, said, “With the funds
received from this event, we intend to donate two smart boards- one to St.
George’s High School and the other to
Jack Hayward High School -- to aid in
the further educational development of our students. To complete this
objective, the support of the community is greatly needed and, of course,
always appreciated,” he concluded.
