Gala Inspiration DIY: Make a Masquerade Mask (from scratch)
With the Wide Eyed masquerade ball Gala (March 7) - and Mardi Gras (Feb. 17) - fast approaching, we thought we'd take advantage of the brutally cold weather and long President's Day weekend to make some hot cocoa and build some masks. Check out the short youtube tutorial below, hit your local Michael's craft store for provisions, and get to crafting.
What's that? You don't have tickets for our Gala yet?

Announcing the Plays for our WINKS Staged Reading Series - Season Three
The Double-Take Staged Reading Series:
A Wide Eyed Look at Theatrical Adaptation
Wide Eyed Productions will be hosting our third installment of the WINKS staged reading series! This time around, we will be focusing exclusively on new theatrical works of adapted content (meaning plays inspired by other works).
Wide Eyed Productions is excited to continue its work on new American plays like our recent, world premiere production of Dead Special Crabs by Dan Kitrosser and the award-winning Animals by Sam Byron. We had such a good response to the previous seasons of readings, we want the fun to continue.
From March through August 2015, please join us on the first Tuesday of every month at The Drama League, where we will feature a 20-minute segment from three original works by three different writers, which are related to, or inspired by, that month’s theme (see below). At the end of each night, the audience will be invited to select their favorite of the evening anonymously. The majority favorite will be named a semifinalist and be invited to submit a full text* to Wide Eyed Productions’ Artistic Board for consideration for our final round.
The 2015 monthly themes and selected plays for each are as follows:
MARCH - Anything But Disney: Adaptations from fairy tales from around the world

Gala Inspiration: La Festa Veneziana sull’acqua
The winter doldrums are upon us, but there is a bright spot on the immediate horizon for Wide Eyed Productions: our Gala on March 7!
We wanted to share a little costume inspiration - and a virtual 2.5 minute vacation - to go along with your coffee this morning. Carnevale kicked off in the fair city of Venice, Italy, this week, and if there's one thing we really appreciate, it's a party that leaves everyone wide-eyed.
Can't get to Venice right now? Come to our Gala. A couple drinks in, and you'll swear everyone's speaking Italian.
Don't forget to get your tickets, and start planning those masks.
