On Thursday, November 3, at 6 p.m., the Gary Literacy Coalition (GLC) will host its Annual Dinner Theater at the Dean and Barbara White Center, 6600 Broadway, Merrillville. “Ghosting While Black,” written by GLC Board President Ben Clement, is this year’s featured stage play.
“When the time comes to plan our annual fundraiser, I am always excited because we get to reflect on and celebrate all the accomplishments we have made throughout the year,” said Executive Director Lori Kuykendall. “We have so many unique surprises for our guests, and the original works crafted by our Board President Ben Clement are always a draw.”
The play is a drama about an unheralded novelist who has been nominated for his first Academy Award for Best Screenplay in 1940. Clement also writes and publishes children’s books.
During the fundraiser, the community will network, buy raffle tickets for prizes, as well as enjoy dinner while watching the stage play.
“I enjoy surprising theater goers each year with fresh work,” said Clement. “They are my sounding boards while we raise money for a phenomenal cause.”
