gala for education and access

TheatreSquared’s signature annual celebration supporting education and access to remarkable live theater will be held on May 1, at 6:00pm at the Fayetteville Public Library, and is presented by sponsors Bob and Becky Alexander.

This year’s event will evoke the relaxation and understated luxury of Santorini! Picture this: sun-kissed blue rooftops, crisp white linen, and vibrant olive trees surrounding you. A sparkling turquoise ocean, layers of natural textiles, and bursts of magenta bougainvillea flowers and bright yellow lemon trees. All of it bathed in the golden glow of a Greek sunset, with flickering candles setting the mood.

If you love to dress on theme, feel free to incorporate it into your outfit. Dressing on theme is totally optional—wear whatever you feel fabulous in! So, whether you choose to dress the part or just feel the vibes, we can’t wait to celebrate with you in this stunning atmosphere!

Please see link for more information.

Entertainment begins 6:00PM

Auralai is the creative vision of Wisconsin native Stephanie Russell (Tschech), a cellist with over 20 years of classical training who has transformed her musical approach to bring cello into the alt indie spotlight. Stephanie discovered her passion for the cello during elementary school, where she honed her talent through after-school string programs, private lessons, and youth orchestras.

Her early career saw her performing with several bands, but it was her founding of Auralai in 2013 that marked the start of her signature style. Initially a three-piece acoustic indie pop outfit, Auralai evolved in 2015 when Stephanie teamed up with multi-instrumentalist Nate Lehner, giving birth to a new chapter as a duo marked by innovative, cello-driven sounds. Together, they released two albums, each a testament to Auralai’s eclectic indie pop vibe. Stephanie continues to experiment and find her voice, with new singles slated for release in early 2025.

No slave to conventional songwriting or classical cello form, Auralai's unique brand of cello-pop brings a breath of fresh air to the contemporary music scene.
