GALA NIGHT - FRI., DEC 13TH

Valley Shakespeare Festival invites you to our first-holiday gala at the Twisted Vine, Derby’s historic haunted bank—a venue steeped in both charm and intrigue. Join us for an unforgettable evening of festive elegance and spine-tingling history as we raise funds to support our nonprofit theater company. Your evening will include:
🎄 A Prix Fixe Dinner: Enjoy a decadent, chef-curated holiday menu, and cash bar in the atmospheric halls of this beautifully eerie bank.
👻 A Christmas Carol: Witness a mesmerizing one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, staged in a venue that’s as ghostly as the story itself.
✨ Fundraising with a Purpose: All proceeds will support the Valley Shakespeare Festival’s mission of bringing quality theater to our community.
