Go Out For Art

Feed your body, feed your soul and feed the arts all in one night. Join the High Point Area Arts Council’s Friends of the Arts on Thursday, July 16, at the new Dan Thai Jazz Bistro at 1116 Eastchester Drive in the Center Stage Shopping Center in High Point. Ten percent of that night’s gross will be contributed to the United Arts Fund Drive!

Throughout the evening, the Bob Sanger Trio and featured musicians will be playing jazz. Along with good music, there will be great food. The Dan Thai Jazz Bistro serves Thai, Japanese, French, and Fusion cuisine created by Chef “Jackie” Teatong of Bangkok. And the restaurant’s décor complements the music and food for a dining experience that satisfies all of your appetites!

There will be four table seatings, so reservations are necessary. Call Dan Thai Jazz Bistro at 889-3896 to choose a dinner time of 5:00, 6:00, 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. Come early and enjoy Thai Orchid Martini specials at the bar from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. or stay late to partake in champagne and dessert specials after 9:00 p.m.

Restaurant owner, Dan Doby, is a performing artist himself having acted on in television and movies and on stage. Building on the success of his first Dan Thai restaurant in Burlington and the charity benefits he hosted there, Dan thought of helping the Arts Council in High Point and all of the arts organizations that it serves. This is the first of many Go Out For Art events in High Point!

Although the cuisine and restaurant are up scale, dress is casual for the Go Out For Art benefit. “No ties allowed, we provide the Thai,” joked Dan. Meet up with High Point’s Friends of the Arts and enjoy an evening of smooth jazz with like minded folks on July 16 at Dan Thai Jazz Bistro … come see what the buzz is all about in High Point!

For Richer or Purim

Go see HPCT family member Ally Austin become the evil and dastardly Haman in Crosslove Theatre's production "For Richer or Purim!" The classic story of Esther meets the slapstick comedy of Saturday Night LIVE! in this unforgettable adaptation by Bob Snook. Esther has been chosen among all the "ladies" in the king's court to become his queen. However, on the night she takes her crown, Esther uncovers a plot to destroy the entire Hebrew race. With the help of the audience and a fun loving gatekeeper, Esther shows that true bravery and faith in yourself and in God can overcome the largest of obstacles.

"For Richer or Purim"
