Our trip back to the 20’s this past August was nothing short of a magical experience. Not to mention the fact that we sold out all 6 shows of Balefire’s newly introduced two-weekend format.

There was glitz, there was glam, there was heartache, but most of all: There was hope. Accentuated beautifully by the amazing Macramé work of Kara Dulin.

Not only that, but Patty Donahue truly pulled out all the stops to further immerse audiences by wrapping Gallery Z in some beautiful drapery. Creating a warm, loving atmosphere that made the whole experience even more powerful.

Gallery Z’s walls have definitely soaked up Gatsby’s green light for years to come. And if you listen close, you can still hear Daisy & Gatsby’s song reverberating ever-so slightly through the night air…

“And so we drove on, toward death through the cooling twilight.”

- Nick Carraway
