To the Editor:

McCarter Theatre’s Annual Gala Benefit on Saturday, May 18th featured a smashing performance by THE MIDTOWN MEN that had the whole theatre dancing in the aisles (literally!). McCarter is so grateful for the support offered by its donors and by the Princeton community.

The evening was great fun and it was a pleasure to see so many people enjoying themselves while supporting this great institution. Thank you to our wonderful co-chairs, Judy Scheide and Tamera Matteo and the great team at Joss and Jules Catering for all they did to create a magical event for us. Our wonderful volunteers on the gala committee did an amazing job – their dedication and vision created a truly memorable evening.

We would like thank our corporate supporters for their stalwart support of the theatre and of this event. We deeply appreciate their support. The Gold level corporate sponsors, Cure Auto Insurance, and The Gould Group of Wells Fargo Advisors, have been supporting the work of the theatre for several years and we are proud that they continue to support our gala in this way.

In addition, we would like to say thank you to our amazing team at McCarter – from our production crew to our team of interns – the entire staff had a role in creating this spectacular event and did so with great professionalism and grace.

Like so many non-profits in our region, McCarter Theatre depends on private donations to help us fulfill our mission. Through this support, we are able to offer truly world-class entertainment in Princeton at very affordable prices. We are also able to offer educational and outreach programs to students and schools in Princeton, New Brunswick, Trenton and many other school districts in our area.

Thank you!
