This cocktail-attire event blends the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas with the warmth of Aurora’s celebrated community. With Aurora as the house, everyone’s a winner.

Last year’s Phenomenon drew over 200 attendees and featured remarkable prizes, including a 4-day/3-night stay at Harrah’s Las Vegas, with roundtrip airfare, courtesy of Condor Tours & Travel and Delta Air Lines.

The live auction’s top item was a week-long stay at a luxurious 6-bedroom home with a heated pool in Ocean Isle, NC. This year, attendees can expect even more dazzling prizes and surprises.

More than just a benefit, Phenomenon is a celebration of the performing arts, philanthropy and community spirit. All proceeds from the event support Aurora Theatre’s fundraising efforts to sustain its mission and programming.
