Earlier this year, MTC added a new benefit to the Patron Program — all Patrons were invited to an exclusive Season Kickoff Celebration at the Biltmore Theatre.  The event provided an opportunity for Patrons to go behind-the-scenes at MTC to learn about our history and evolution, as well as how MTC operates on a day-to-day basis. Over 400 Patrons attended this inaugural event on Monday, September 25, 2006.

The evening featured a panel discussion with Lynne Meadow and members of the Artistic Staff: Mandy Greenfield, Director of Artistic Operations; Nancy Piccione, Director of Casting; and Emily Shooltz, Literary Manager.  Patrons also partook in a question-and-answer session.  Following the discussion, Patrons enjoyed a cocktail reception featuring mixed drink selections from Alchemy Polish Vodka.

Special thanks to Gay Goldman and Charles Werner, Co-Chairs of the Patrons Leadership Council, for their enthusiastic leadership and generous support.  We look forward to doing this event again next year!
