The event’s jazz-based theme is “Blue Rhapsody” and is set in a cabaret-style theatre-in-the-round. Guests will enjoy hand-crafted cocktails in a suave lounge, where they can scat to the sounds of Georgia student jazz artists. A delicious three-course gourmet dinner will be served, while guests enjoy award-winning Atlanta News First anchor Allen Devlin as emcee and performances from 2024 Lead Actress and Lead Actor nominees of the five-time Southeast Emmy® Award-winning Georgia High School Musical Theatre Awards program. Then, the husband-and-wife team of Auction Horizon will lead a rousing Live Auction of swanky packages. The event will then outro to an After-Party, where guests can groove along to the sounds of the Eric Thomas Project. Feel free to dress spiffy in your cocktail or jazz wear!
