Red Carpet Series Close to Final
She can't give full details yet, but the president of Galesburg's Orpheum Theatre says an annual series of special performances is close to being finalized, but it could already be considered a success.

Kate Francis says other than the already-announced first show of the "Red Carpet Series" April 11th, she has finalized deals for the other four shows in the series that was reduced this year due to budget restraints.

Francis tells WGIL she won't be announcing those shows just yet.

"We'll be making an announcement in the first week of March," Francis said. "We will have five shows this year that will run between April and October. We have a very broad variety of show types coming -- a little something for everyone, I hope."

Francis says the reason she's not announcing the entire list of shows just yet: she's still working on confirming a couple of sponsorships for some of them.

Even without, she says so far, the dollar amount of sponsorships so far committed to has far exceeded her projections.

The first Red Carpet show is "Spencer's Theatre of Illusion" April 11th.
