Come see Much Ado About Nothing in its unnatural environment!

Sure, the park is great. But you know what you can't have in a park? Wine. And since it's still summer, we know lots of our friends and family are out of town on a given weekend. So we are putting it altogether for you: wine, music, a chance to meet the cast and crew and support Curious Frog.

Thanks to our friends at Broadway Rentals & Aidil Wines & Liquors, we are able to throw a little party.

Much Ado about Nothing Benefit Performance
Thursday, August 28, 2008, 7:00-10:30PM
$35 (pre-register) -- $40 (at the door) per person

How to get tickets:
Click on the link below and it will take you to our Donation page at the Network for Good. In the Designation or Dedication line, simply enter 'Benefit' and we will put your name on the guest list (if you want to be thorough, feel free to print out a copy, but it isn't necessary). If you are registering for more than one person, it will be listed as your name + the appropriate number of guests.

This is a benefit performance, so 100% of your gift is tax-deductible. Be sure to check off the option to be updated at year end by Network for Good.

We will send you an email the night before as a reminder to anyone who has registered this way.

Lastly, if you can't make it, you can still use this link to donate to Curious Frog.

About Mark Pires
Alright let’s just cut to the chase. You know this is being written by me the artist, so rather than carrying on and on with “Mark is…” or “he’s so”, I might as well give it to you straight rather than speak in the third person. So, I will just get down to the facts: My name is Mark Pires, I am a Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist and I have written over sixty original songs about various experiences in my life and about people who have reflected musical emotions upon me.
