TheatreZone Recreates the Glamour of the Legendary Sands Hotel with Rat Pack Bash
NAPLES, Fla. – The glamour of vintage Las Vegas comes to life on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2027, when TheatreZone presents Rat Pack Bash, an elegant evening inspired by the legendary Copa Room at the Sands Hotel, where Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. created some of entertainment’s most memorable nights.
Held from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at The Vineyards Country Club, Rat Pack Bash invites guests to step into the world of the Rat Pack with swanky cocktail attire, cocktails, live music and timeless entertainment, all in support of TheatreZone’s mission to bring professional Broadway-caliber musical theatre to Southwest Florida.
The evening’s setting will evoke the style and sophistication of classic Las Vegas with elegant décor reminiscent of the Sands Hotel during its golden era. During the cocktail reception, guests will enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres prepared by The Vineyards while a pianist performs on the club’s grand piano. A silent auction featuring distinctive experiences and unique items will also be part of the festivities.
The celebration culminates with Chaz Esposito and the Swing Kings, whose acclaimed Rat Pack tribute captures the music, wit and unmistakable style of Sinatra, Martin and Davis. Presented as a fully staged floor show with live musicians, period costumes and audience interaction, the performance recreates the excitement of a classic Las Vegas nightclub, inviting guests to sing along, dance and relive the magic of an unforgettable era.
Approximately 150 guests are expected to attend the fundraiser, with proceeds supporting TheatreZone’s Broadway-caliber productions and education programs.
“There’s something timeless about the Rat Pack,” said Mark Danni, TheatreZone’s founder and artistic director. “Their music, humor and style continue to captivate audiences, and Rat Pack Bash captures that spirit while supporting TheatreZone’s future. We look forward to welcoming guests for a wonderful evening.”
