Modern Dance Fundraiser

Coming March 12, 2009

The Celiac Chicks will host the fourth annual Evening with the Paul Taylor Dance Company fundraiser at 7pm on Thursday, March 12, 2009, at City Center. Tickets range from $15 to $250; click here for more details about ordering so that a portion of the proceeds will go to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University (CDCCU).

The program represents a range of moods, from the camp comedy of Funny Papers to the atheletic grace of Esplanade to the grave power of Scudorama. Afterwards come desserts from various sources including Risotteria, Shabtai Gourmet, and Foods by George.

Here's some background on Taylor.

FOLLOW-UP: PAUL TAYLOR DANCE COMPANY FUNDRAISER

I didn't make it to last Thursday's fundraising reception at City Center. But, thanks to the blog coverage of the CeliacChicks (the hosts) and Catherine of Gluten Free Guide, I can now be consumed with gluten-free jealousy.

I mean, Peter Green and Mikhail Baryshnikov and gluten-free Foods by George in the same place, at the same time?

And "only" forty or so in attendance, Kelly? I think that's terrific. Congratulations!

FUNDRAISER: PAUL TAYLOR DANCE COMPANY

On Thursday, March 15, 2007, the CeliacChicks will host a reception and performance event tied in with the Paul Taylor Dance Company's 2007 season at New York City Center (55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues). It's a fundraiser for the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University.

The reception, which will run from 5:30 to 6:45 pm, is sponsored by Foods by George, which just provided hors d'oeuvres and other goodies at last Friday's sprue spree.

The performance, which starts at 7:00 pm, features the works Polaris, Book of Beasts, and Promethean Fire.

Tickets for the event cost $35, $55, $70 and $85, with 25% going to the Celiac Disease Center. Save on service charges by going to the box office and mentioning code CEC, use the code to get the tickets over the phone at 212-581-1212, or click here and use code 2840.
