The “Almost Celebrity” Roasting of Zoot Velasco
Produced by Jim Williams and Monette Velasco
Thursday . October 18 . 7:30 PM
$35
No, this isn’t a farm dinner. Our executive director is having a milestone year. Within a few months of this shindig, Zoot will celebrate his 50th Birthday, five years at the Muckenthaler, and 30 years in the arts. It’s time we roast him. The roast will feature not only a number of amazing artists with whom Zoot has worked with over the years, but also several eager community members. Don’t miss this star-studded event, which is our way of thanking Zoot for his outstanding work at the Muckenthaler. Refreshments will be available for sale and a VIP dinner may be in the works. Because this is a special event fundraiser, no discounts are available.
