The Gala
Get ready to witness history in the making! The 2024 Astra Marketplace & Academy will be hosting its inaugural Awards Gala event. We're bringing the glamour of old Hollywood to the play industry, creating a unique blend of sophistication and fun. Come as you are, or dress to the nines. Look forward to swag bags, an upscale photo opportunity area with props, a celebratory toast, and a full dinner!
This ticketed event will take place on Monday, June 3rd, at 7:00 pm.
Support your industry peers as the Excellence and Play Award winners will be announced that evening, as well as the "best booth" awards.
Tickets are available now for only $50 and must be pre-ordered by May 10, as tickets will not be sold onsite.
Also, full tables can be sponsored for groups that want to be sure to sit together.
