Be on your toes for this party. On Friday, April 13th, 2007, The Buccini / Pollin Group will present Delaware Theatre Company's 21st Annual Barefoot Ball at the Chase Center on the Riverfront from 6pm to 10pm. The event will have live music by Chorduroy, dancing and some of the finest food, microbrews and spirits in Delaware (or any other state for that matter). Tickets to DTC's 21st Annual Barefoot Ball, presented by The Buccini / Pollin Group, are $45 in advance, and $55 the day of the event. Guests must be 21 years of age or older. Tickets are available through the DTC Box Office at 302.594.1100, or online at www.delawaretheatre.org. (Internet sales will not be available the day of the event.)

Over the last 21 years, the Barefoot Ball has become the place where Wilmington's young movers and shakers meet to do their best moving and shaking. Start with microbrews, spirits, and superior food from the area's finest brewpubs, restaurants, and distributors, throw in great live music, and you've got a 21st birthday party to trump all others.

What could make the Barefoot Ball even more exciting? One lucky person will win a 7-night Royal Caribbean cruise for two to Bermuda! The trip is the grand prize in DTC's raffle, along with a second prize of two season subscriptions to DTC's 2007-2008 season and $475 in restaurant gift certificates, and a third prize of a Blue Rocks skybox for 16 people and a $50 gift certificate redeemable to either Deer Park Tavern or McGlynn's Pub. Raffle tickets are one for $10 or three for $20, and are on sale now through the night of the event. The drawing will occur at 9:00pm at the Barefoot Ball on Friday, April 13, however one does not need to be present to win.

The Barefoot Ball is presented by The Buccini / Pollin Group, with major support provided by Bank of America, Standard Distributing Company and Meetings by Design, and additional support provided by AAA Mid-Atlantic, CityLife Wilmington, Out & About, Sir Speedy of Wilmington and Special Occasions.
