Although last year’s Masquerade Ball was deemed to be “extremely successful,” Student Theatre Association (STA) President, Vanessa Di Feo, said the association is “stepping things up” this year.

According to Di Feo, this year two hundred and twenty people will be able to get tickets, and the association will sell masks for $5 at the door for the first people who arrive.

Furthermore, a cash bar will offer a wide variety of cocktails, rather than the limited wine and beer that was available in previous years.

Di Feo said that, last year, the association “actually had a waitlist for people who did not get their tickets in time. There were two hundred people there last year, and they were able to enjoy a cash bar, free food, and music of their choice.”

Starting at 8 p.m. on January 31, the ball will held at the Ernie Checkeris Theatre at Thorneloe University.
