Another aspect Whitney stresses about ALT? The ability to get big names to Amarillo. Case in point: Emmy-award winning actress (Will & Grace) and broadway sensation Megan Mullally is coming to Amarillo! Planned as an intimate fundraiser for the theatre, she will be performing for only 200 guests at the ALT Adventure Space on Saturday, June 9th at 8PM. Mullally will be performing within arm’s reach of the audience – this is a big deal considering she has won 2 Emmy’s, 4 SAG’s and been on Broadway numerous times, AND she has an amazing voice! There will be a spectacular cocktail buffet from BL Bistro, open bar and dessert. If you are interesting in sponsoring or attending this special cabaret performance, contact the ALT box office for information: 355-9991.
