Blind Childrens Center Presents

Night at the Theater

The opening night performance of Grease

Our first annual “Night at the Theater” event was a grand success thanks to the generosity of James A. Blackman III and the Civic Light Opera of South Bay Cities. Guests attended the opening night performance of Grease. There was a cocktail reception before the show and a cast party immediately following. The Center plans to make this great night an annual event.
