Red Carpet Ball - A 1930's Hollywood Academy Award Ball

PEERS - Period Events & Entertainments Re-Creation

April 7, 2007

Add Review/Comment

It's Oscar Night in 1932 during Hollywood' most wildly creative season - the notorious Pre-Code era when women ruled the box office, censorship was scorned, and movies were unpredictable. Vintage or modern evening dress (white or black tie optional) is admired, but not required. But for the ladies who want to go all out for glamour, this is your opportunity to create the Oscar gown of your dreams. Sara and Swingtime plays an evening of elegant vintage ballroom dance music (waltzes, tangos, fox trots, rumbas, sambas, etc.), cool blues, and hot Swing of the 1920's and 30's. For guests wishing to brush up on their vintage fox trot, there will be a pre-ball dance lesson. starting at 7:00 p.m. A light snack buffet will be served throughout the evening (your potluck contributions are always appreciated). Intermission entertainment includes both a half-time floor show and DJ dancing to the greatest hits of the early 30's.

    Sounds like a great event, especially since a cousin of mine tied for Best Actor in 1932 (Wallace Beery for "The Champ.") But I have a show of my own playing the same night, so I hope... Expand

    Sounds like a great event, especially since a cousin of mine tied for Best Actor in 1932 (Wallace Beery for "The Champ.") But I have a show of my own playing the same night, so I hope everyone has a glamorous and wonderful time! Collapse
