Texas All-Star Nobelity Dinner

nobelitygirl.gif
On the heels of the fantastic work of his debut documentary film “Nobelity,” local author and performer turned global activist Turk Pipkin is ramping up fundraising for his second film “One Peace at a Time.” The film functions as a companion piece to ‘Nobelity,’ which uses interviews with nine Nobel laureates to raise awareness about concerns facing the global community.

Whereas the widely seen and critically tauted “Nobelity” searched for questions most important in stewardship of the global environment and community, Pipkin’s new film searches for answers that can spotlight necessary efforts for fostering a better planet to leave for future generations.

In an effort to raise money for his ongoing filming, Pipkin is hosting the Texas All-Star Nobelity Dinner at the Four Seasons on Sunday, Jan. 27. The night will feature a sparkling array of Texas talent with 25 great artists who will each host a table of 10 guests at the dinner. Participants will include Owen Wilson, Ricardo Chavira of “Desperate Housewives,” Kinky Friedman, Martie Maguire of the Dixie Chicks, Greater Tuna, Mike Judge, Harry Anderson, Shawn Colvin, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Lawrence Wright and many more.

Tables are $10,000 for 10 people (with $500 and $1,000 individual seats available), and include a cocktail reception with all the celebrities, dinner with one of the host artists, and a show with Ely, Bob Schneider and actor/magician Harry Anderson.

The evening’s guest of honor is Nobel laureate Steve Weinberg, who participated in “Nobelity.”
