The 2009 Candlelight Dinner, A Toast To PACE, raised $350,000 for the new Performing Arts Center Eastside and included a benefit concert by internationally-acclaimed ensemble, Pink Martini. The black-tie evening was presented by the Act One Guild and was emceed by local media personality, Patty Payne.
The future Performing Arts Center Eastside is scheduled to open in 2013 and will feature 2,000-seat Concert Hall and a 250-seat Cabaret. The venue will sit on the corner of Northeast 10th Street and 106th Avenue Northeast in downtown Bellevue and will cater to big name acts, world-class performers, touring Broadway plays and regional arts organizations.
