2016 Fools Day Celebration: Season Announcement & Membership Appreciation Party

On Friday, April 1, 2016, The Sun Valley Center for the Arts (The Center) and Company of Fools (COF) invites the community to its annual Fools Day Celebration at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey. This free community event will feature announcements of the dynamic summer season programming at The Center and of COF’s 21st Season. It also is an opportunity for The Center to acknowledge and celebrate their members and sponsors.

The Fools Day Celebration will take place from 5:30pm to 7:00pm at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey. The public is invited to this free celebration (one need not be a member to attend!) that will feature homemade desserts, an opportunity to win COF 21st season tickets, music, wine, great company and festivities. At 6:15pm, The Center and COF will announce highlights of their upcoming seasons in true Fools Day style.

“Fools Day began in 2005 as a way to thank our community and to share our upcoming work.” Core Company Artist Denise Simone explained, “It’s also a fun way to raise awareness of and celebrate our membership program—to emphasize how important membership is to the vitality of the organization and it’s year-round programing. In addition, membership allows for the first crack at some of the Valley’s most dynamic arts programming and you save money right away!”

Thanks to our members’ commitment and generosity, the Sun Valley Center for the Arts continues to present world-class artists, actors, writers and thinkers of our time and bring arts education to children in the Blaine County schools. Becoming a member makes the strong statement that the arts are essential in our lives and community.

“From BIG IDEA projects that explore the promise of technological advances to a project on meditation and wellness that will involve a broad range of community partners, this year’s Center programs will educate, elucidate and entertain.” said Sun Valley Center for the Arts Artistic Director Kristin Poole. “Company of Fools’ diverse season will take us from laughter to tears and from the living room of a fading dowager to the desk of a drone pilot. Concerts, lectures, classes and film will bring us together to celebrate the talent and minds of accomplished artists who offer a new perspective on our world. As always, we are excited to share it with this enthusiastic and engaged community.”

Last year’s Fools Day celebration drew a packed house to the Liberty. The Center and COF anticipates the same enthusiasm—if not more—for the upcoming season announcements. No one will want to miss out on this year’s festivities!
