Noble Fool Theatricals Invites Community to Inaugural Fundraising Event

Noble Fool Theatricals, the premier professional theater in the Fox Valley area, is proud to announce its inaugural fundraiser that will support the students in their Performing Arts Academy. In addition, the organization recently announced that on January 1, 2011, Noble Fool will become Fox Valley Repertory; a name that represents the community they have grown their mission, vision, patron base, and academy students around.

In celebration of the growth and success of the Performing Arts Academy, Noble Fool Theatricals cordially invites all ages to dress up and attend their Masquerade Ball on October 22nd in the New Orleans Ballroom at Pheasant Run Resort from 6-10pm. There will be dinner, music, entertainment, a raffle, silent auction and much more. Ticket prices are $60 for adults and $30 for students (under 18). A special family price of $150 includes tickets for 2 adults and 2 students.

"For our inaugural fundraiser, we want to bring together patrons, parents, and students to celebrate the growth of our organization and our commitment to the community. The event is a casual way for all our supporters to share an evening and create an experience with each other," said Development Manager Scott Piner. "For the raffle and silent auction, items have been donated by Walt Disney World, the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago White Sox, the Second City, and local organizations such as State Street Jewelers. And we're fortunate to have entertainment by comedian John DaCosse."
