Wow. I am so bad at this blogging thing!
Since August 23rd I have been at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater in a fellowship in the Managing Director's office. I work with amazing people in a beautiful new building and I am learning so much about budgets and board relations.
On October 23rd we celebrated our Grand Opening with all day festivities including performances by Broadway stars, local talent, a few high school glee clubs, conversations with playwrights and a banjo dancer. This was followed on Monday by a high level amazing Gala featuring an amazing dinner and performances by Brian Stokes Mitchell, the Manzari Brothers and Alice Ripley.
One of the projects I was given when arrived at the theater was to assist in the planning and execution of the Alumni Brunch part of the Opening of our new building. We started opening day with over 300 of our Alumni spanning all of our past 60 years having brunch in the cafe terrace listening to amazing speeches from our past and present Artistic Directors. It was a beautiful moment.
Below are a few pictures my husband took of the day. More information can be found by googling "Arena Stage Homecoming" we have had tons of press so it should be fairly easy to find.
