Not into purses? We have just the tickets for you!

We are excited to preview a brand new item in our Winter Raffle, generously donated by the North Shore Music Theatre:

We are calling this our “Shakespeare and SOMA” Package! 

This package includes a theatre pass good for 4 tickets to A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM at the North Shore Music Theatre on Thursday, March 7, 2024 at 7:30pm

Presented by Shakespeare & Company as part of the Northeast Regional Tour

​Running Time: 1 hour and 30 Minutes

​Athenians mix it up with the forest fairies in this raucous romp that features magical meddling, romantic tangles, and a play within a play for good measure. One of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been described by scholars as carnivalesque: pushing the plot forward through humor and chaos.

And to make your evening even more of a dream, we’ve paired these tickets with a $100 gift card to SOMA in Beverly, located at 256 Cabot Street. 

 

Phantom Gourmet:  If you’re looking for a place that has plate after plate of food that’s’ so delicious and so affordable, it’s time you hit Soma.   Located in downtown Beverly, this dark, sexy eatery shakes up stiff cocktails and serves modern Mediterranean made with a level of care, quality, and style you don’t often find outside of the city.

This evening of Arts and Eats in beautiful Beverly is yours to win in this year’s Winter Raffle!
