Tacoma came out in strong numbers to the Broadway Center's Carnevale a Venezia gala Sunday, May 23 inside the Pantages Theater. The evening began with shopping, noshing and sipping in a vibrant Italian market (Pantages lobby) followed by a live auction, El Gaucho dinner, opera singers, and trapeze artists in a Venetian Opera House (Pantages main stage). The event benefits Broadway Center's vital arts education programs that touch the lives of 35,000 students and teachers annually.
Oompas Loompas-like people handed out Almond Roca at the entrance to the Venetian Opera House.
