Partygoers danced to the beat at Urbanite Theatre's Black Party on March 10 at Aloft Hotel. 

Dressed in all black attire to support the black box theatre, guests enjoyed drinks, a raffle and photo opportunities with live body paint models. There were also performances throughout the evening.

This is the fourth year Urbanite Theatre has hosted The Black Party, and it's the theatre company's biggest benefit of the year.
