Your Master of Ceremonies is San Francisco's favorite Lounge Singer, MR. LUCKY. We have just learned CONNIE CHAMPAGNE is expected to bring a classic movie star and we can expect some duets from the stage.

He'll keep us entertained throughout the evening with music and humor, contests and more.

We urge you to come dressed as a nominated movie. We know the Balboa crowd will have some clever takes on how the movie titles might look. We are lining up some very special prizes for the best costumes.

We're sure you'll find this more fun than staying at home or paying for some overpriced event. Enjoy the Oscar Balboa style. Tickets are only $8.50 General, Seniors and children under 12 are $6.00. Your "I'd Rather Be at the Balboa" cards will be accepted. We urge you to get your tickets early. They are on sale at the Balboa now.
