Redmoon's Spectacle Lunatique: A Magical Night Honoring Howard Tullman (Video)
By Candace Jordan, Wednesday at 6:59 pm
One of Chicago’s most anticipated galas, Redmoon Theater's annualSpectacle Lunatique will be held on Saturday, March 15. This decadent night of inspired performances and culinary delights will be held in the industrial elegance of Redmoon’s 57,000-square foot warehouse studio in Pilsen. Over 1,000 of Chicago’s civic, cultural and business leaders gather for Spectacle Lunatique each year raising funds for Redmoon’s free public work that happens throughout the city, primarily in areas that are culturally underserved.
Howard Tullman, President and CEO of Flashpoint Academy, Chairman and CEO of Experiencia, Inc. and newly named CEO of Chicago tech hub 1871, will be honored as the 2014 Galvanizer Award recipient. Each year, Redmoon presents this award to an individual who galvanizes communities for a more vibrant Chicago.
This year, Lunatique’s theme of “Redmoon: At the Scale of the City” will inspire the evening’s offerings as performances throughout the space give guests an exclusive preview of the Spring Spectacle and the designs and planning of the inaugural Great Chicago Fire Festival, due to take place in October. This year, over a dozen of Chicago’s top chefs will be represented in “tasting experiences” throughout the evening, all presented in Redmoon’s signature style combining imagination, whimsy and the unexpected. Music and an open bar complete the experience.
Tickets: VIP: $625, General: $450, Late Night: $100. Tickets are available by calling the Redmoon Box Office at 312-850-8440 x123 or online atwww.redmoon.org.
