That was quite an invite I got in my e-mail box from David Geffen!
The Geffen Playhouse is hosting - "Serenade Under the Stars" - an exclusive extravaganza on Monday, June 30th, at the Malibu Inn, Carbon Beach.
The big bash is being billed as an "unforgettable event" and includes thirty luxurious packages that span over two days.
The headlining event is a "Magical Concert" with award-winning composer, playwright, musician - Hershey Felder - for instance.
Included in the musical celebration is an over-night stay in a queen-size suite (with ocean view), a cocktail reception, buffet-style dinner, dessert and champagne reception, and - natch - a continental-style breakfast the following morning.
(coffee and pastry)
The tickets are a whopping $3,000.00 and are limited to twenty-seven couples.
So book now, eh?
If your blood is a little richer, go for the upscale (!) ritzier package priced at an astounding $15,000.00 smackeroos.
The package designed for the pampered few includes:
*Ocean view King Beach Suite
*Cocktail Reception
*Concert with Hershey Felder
*Overnight stay
*Audi car service to and from event
*Private terrace dinner with butler service
*Dessert and champagne reception
*Continental breakfast
*One year family membership to Carbon Beach ($6000 value).
At first glance, it may appear to be an exercise in excess by the idle rich, but actually, the special event is for a worthy cause.
In fact, twenty-seven thousand lives will be enriched.
Through the David Geffen funder, outreach programs will benefit.
