On Sunday June 12, Jack and Margo Dixon, David Dorman and Wanzie Presents played host to more than 140 nattily dressed guests and volunteers for “An Evening at the Stork Club.” The iconic New York nightclub was the backdrop for a benefit that raised $6,900 for Hope and Help of Central Florida.
The concept was the brainchild of Rob Domenico and the Dixons.
“During an early brainstorming session, we discussed replicating previously successful cabaret events, which formed the basis for this event but it quickly morphed into a supper club with an orchestra, singers, and dancing,” said Margo Dixon.
The evening was complete with 1930s flair, including a cigarette girl, photographers, a live orchestra, cabaret singers”including Dorman himself”an intimate dinner, dancing and a floorshow.
Organizers may recreate the evening annually, but not necessarily in the summer. The timing this year was predicated on the need for funds for September's “Headdress Ball.” If the event does return the challenge would be scheduling it away from other large events like the Fringe Festival and Gay Days.
