Tickets are no longer available. Thank you for your interest, and be sure to check out the 2008 Central Virginia Film Festival: May 22-24!
Just like the event in 2007, for this Oscar® worthy event, everyone will feel like stars as they walk the red carpet and have an opportunity to be interviewed by Morgan Dean of WRIC TV8. They will meet Celebrity Host Daphne Maxwell Reid and Honorary Chairman, Senator Henry L. Marsh III - who will present the first Film Festival DREAMers Team 2008 Humanitarian Award to Oliver Hill, Sr..
There will be live entertainment - including the famous "Byrd organist", and a Silent Auction (items including: a mink fur jacket from Alan Furs, Signature wine from Sterling Vineyards autographed by Regis Philbin, a signed poster from Sugar Ray Robinson, the hat from Michael Jackson's video "Billy Jean" - donated by Daphne Reid, a signed Will Smith The Pursuit of Happyness poster and much much more). There will be raffled items and the opportunity to buy a limited of number of official Academy Awards® programs just like those given out the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
Businesses in Richmond, Carytown, Central Virginia and Petersburg have been invited to help make this event a taste of Central Virginia "potluck" reception. We are calling this a Central Virginia "block-party" where we will open our doors to the area businesses to bring goodies and advertise their shops: a veritable "potluck". Any business out there that would like to become a part of the potluck, please call 804-957-4211 to reserve your space. There will also be a cash bar and The Byrd Theatre is starting the generous giving by offering a free small drink and free small popcorn to all who come.
PLUS, don't forget, the STAR of the evening, the Live telecast of the 80th Annual Academy Awards®, complete with all of the red carpet stars, presenters, and performers. The show is hosted by funnyman Jon Stewart, and the evening will be kicked off with red carpet interviews hosted by Regis Philbin.
Tickets will be held until 7:30 pm the evening of February 24, 2008 at the BOX OFFICE.
BOX OFFICE opens at 6:30 pm DOORS OPEN at 6:45 pm.
