28th Annual Make Believe Ball
Get ready to “let the good times roll” at the 28th Annual Make Believe Ball
Saturday, March 5, 2022
5:00PM – 10:30PM
Hilton Milwaukee City Center
In 2020, our guests “rocked out” with the theme of THE LEGEND OF ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, a new musical that premiered at First Stage. This year, our guests will “let the good times roll” as we celebrate the return of this lively musical that closed much too soon due to the pandemic. Get ready for a night filled with kids’ activities, large silent auction, live auction, dinner, and of course, dancing!
Make your reservation by February 18. Prices will increase by $10 after February 7.

Attire
Flash back to the 1980’s when colors were brighter, hair defied gravity, and shoulder pads and synthetic fabrics were all the rage. Dress it up with an extra-wide necktie or that prom dress from the back of your closet. We know the style will be “like totally tubular!”
