EVENT DESCRIPTION

Join us for a night on the town on Tuesday, January 28 as Ocala Civic Theatre presents Daddy Long Legs: From Screen to Stage, downtown at the Marion Theatre (50 S. Magnolia Avenue).
OCT’s upcoming musical Daddy Long Legs was inspired by the 1955 musical-comedy film starring Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron. With a handful of Academy Award nominations and a witty screenplay by Henry Ephron, the father of Nora Ephron, this vintage charmer is a song-and-dance classic from Hollywood’s golden era. Join us for a lovely love story and a lighthearted night at the movies!
The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a reception for VIP guests. First, step around the corner to The Thirsty Cobbler for a signature cocktail celebrating the event. Then stroll next door to a private room at Ivy On the Square for a generous buffet of delicious hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. You’ll also enjoy live music featuring the talents of Becky Baby.
After an hour of food and fun, it’s time to cross the street to the Marion Theatre. VIP guests will have reserved seating, along with a complimentary soda and popcorn.
General seating begins at 6:45 p.m. Before the movie starts, the audience will meet the dynamic-duo cast of OCT’s Daddy Long Legs and be entertained by a live musical preview of the show. Then at 7:45 p.m., the lights will go down and this delightful movie musical will fill the screen!
VIP tickets to the event, including the reception and the movie, are $45. General admission to see the movie is $20 and includes a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage and popcorn.
