Every fall, the Children's Theatre Company hosts The Curtain Call Ball, its most important annual fundraising event. For the past 3 years, we've collaborated on the event theme and designed the invitation. “Oh the Drama” was this year's theme, inspired by the experience of an evening that's anything but staged.
The theme came to life with colorful illustrations of the evening’s events, encouraging patrons to “stir things up” at the cocktail hour, or “enjoy the salty banter” at dinner. The drama was enhanced with a folding technique that opens to reveal an invitation twice the size.
Illustrations were hand-painted and combined with colorful graphics reminiscent of theater posters - a visual cue that the party is ultimately for the benefit of The Children's Theatre.
