RARELY DONE PRODUCTIONS TEAMS WITH SPY BABY BOUTIQUE TO CELEBRATE THE 2008 SALT AWARDS SYRACUSE, NY

(April 4, 2008) – Rarely Done Productions has joined with Spy Baby Boutique to celebrate the April 27 “SALT” Awards by reaching out to women nominees and offering them a 30 percent discount on the purchase of eveningwear for the glamorous red-carpet event.

“Syracuse needs events like this,” said Marie Adornato, owner of Spy Baby. “Too often folks attending a gala event in our city show up in casual or work attire – this event is definitely a special event, and attendees should dress to celebrate their friends who are nominated that evening.”

“In other cities with awards ceremonies, festive attire is expected,” added Rarely Done board member Eva Guggenheim, coordinator of the collaboration. “Spy Baby has been supporting us since our inception, and we’re supporting them in this terrific way for the Syracuse theater community to celebrate itself – and dress up!”

Rarely Done Productions is a program of the CNY Jazz Arts Foundation and is a 501(c)(3) corporation. Spy Baby Boutique is located at 406 South Franklin Street in Armory Square.

But back to props. I'd like to give a mad shout-out to everyone who's contributed to our set, especially Eva Guggenheim, who seems to possess an uncanny knack for locating props. For example, we needed a wicker bassinet with a hood for this play. After some fruitless searching through traditional channels, Eva spotted this couple one day at the Apple Festival in LaFayette and had an inexplicable hunch they might have one. So she asked, and incredibly they did. Even more incredibly, they'd been looking to get rid of it. So now, because Eva Guggenheim is psychic, we have a bassinet. Pretty neat, huh?
