The Daytime Emmy's Grand Finale on Sunday, April 29 will be the Inaugural Sapphire Ball
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (PRWEB) April 27, 2018 -- The Daytime Emmy Academy announced the first Sapphire Ball to draw the curtain on a spectacular and glamorous celebration of the community that has brought daytime audiences into a world of drama, comedy and social awareness for more than 50 years.
The Inaugural Sapphire Ball is a Gatsby-themed tribute to the stars, producers and craftsmen who have given an unparalleled entertainment experience to the world since its very beginning. Held right after the awards ceremony at the Pasadena Convention Center on Sunday, April 29.
Daytime TV was born right in the middle of Hollywood’s Golden Age. It nurtured talent and delivered many of the great stars of the big screen. Its shows have continued production longer than any on television. It is a special community.
The Academy’s Sapphire Ball is a party to remember – a perfect ending to the awards night that begins with celebrities showing designer gowns and glitter on the Red Carpet and continues to the Gold Room finale – a Golden Days party alive with Golden Days mood and entertainment in setting of celebrities, exquisite cocktails, star performer and a ton of goodwill.
Headlining entertainment at the Sapphire Ball is soul singer Brenna Whitaker who since moving to Hollywood has caught the attention of Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones and Michael Buble.
“Peggy Lee, Ruth Brown, Cab Calloway, Etta James – those are my people,” says the singer who moved from Kansas City and has wowed audiences from Missouri to New York before settling in Los Angeles to be produced by 16-time Grammy Award winner David Foster, Verve Music Group Chairman.
Brenna is about to release her first album for Verve.
Here are some of the Emmy Academy’s friends and sponsors who help make the awards night such a special event.
