A Night of Theatre: July 2022

The Sister Cities Essex Haiti 2022 Summer Fundraiser occurred on Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at The Ivoryton Playhouse. More than 80 supporters were in attendance for an energetic performance of Smokey Joe’s Cafe. A delightful pre-show reception welcomed attendees with drinks and delicious hors d’oeuvres made by epicurean Pam Keller. Sister Cities Essex Haiti received generous proceeds from the event to further our work in Deschapelles. We humbly thank our sponsors, benefactors, patrons, friends, and The Ivoryton Playhouse.
