The 39th Saturday Night Alive was fun, profitable — and a historic occasion. Vanessa Williams performs. “Saturday Night Alive,” benefiting Denver Center for the Performing Arts education programs, at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Seawell Ballroom, in Denver, Colorado.Photo StevePeterson. Fun because March 2 was a cold and snowy night and quite a few of the 700 guests had tales to tell about braving the elements in formal attire as they made their way to the the Denver Performing Arts Complex for this fundraiser highlighted by a performance by Vanessa Williams, whose vocal and acting skills have earned her nominations for Tony, Emmy and Grammy awards. Profitable because the net proceeds came to $685,000 — money that will enable Allison Watrous, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ executive director of education, and her team to both continue and expand the DCPA’s arts education programs that to date have given 2.7 million Colorado school children a taste for live theater by attending plays, gaining technical knowledge, and staging productions of their own. And historic because the $1,000-a-ticket gala was the last to be held in the Stage Theatre.
