Alumni of Roy C. Ketcham’s (RCK) drama club, The Masque & Mime Society, are pleased to invite the public to join them for a celebration of the club’s 60th anniversary on Sunday, June 23. The ticketed event will kick off with an anniversary concert at 1 p.m. at RCK’s Bové Theatre, followed by a reception at River Valley Arts Center in Wappingers Falls at 3 p.m.

Current and past students will unite on stage to perform memorable songs from the club’s history, giving audience members a glimpse back through the last six decades of musicals. Spearheaded by an alumni committee, both the concert and reception are open to the public, including past and current students, parents, advisers, teachers and friends. While performance tickets are available in advance and for $10 cash at the door, tickets for the reception must be purchased online before June 15 at https://rivervalleyartscenter.com/events/masquemime/.

“Masque & Mime has had a tremendous impact on generations of students,” said Sheila Bogan, RCK alumna, class of 2011, and member of the event’s planning committee. “This event will pay tribute to the musical history of the club, but more importantly it’ll celebrate the lifelong connections and memories made over the years, as well as the special people who have made all of the magic possible.”
