Thanks to all those involved in New Rep's 25th Anniversary Gala!
It is because of your support that we were able to produce an amazing evening that was also a financial success for the theatre. We couldn't be happier!
 The Arsenal Center was transformed into a vision of New Rep's history. |
The evening began with welcoming our dinner guests at registration at the Arsenal Center for the Arts. Dinner guests were then whisked off by shuttle to the Commander's Mansion just across the Arsenal on the Charles campus, and enjoyed a cocktail reception with music by jazz quartet Clear Audience, silent auction, and live music in the beautifully appointed mansion. |
| After cocktails, our guests were seated at tables for 10. Over two hundred guests enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, wonderful wine and live music. Dinner guests included corporate sponsors, New Rep major donors, and Board Members and their friends. |

 The Mosesian was packed for the Gala performance! |
As dinner concluded, guests were conveyed back to the Arsenal Center and joined nearly one hundred and fifty additional guests who had purchased tickets to the Gala performance. Cocktails and live music were enjoyed as the crowd prepared for the evening's main event. |
| Once the house opened, guests were directed into the theatre and took their seats for a dynamic live auction followed by the highlight of the evening, the big show! This year, as we celebrated our 25th season, we said good-bye to our longtime Producing Artistic Director, Rick Lombardo. The show featured actors and singers from New York, LA, and Boston. |  The crowd was surprised by a stunning number from Sweeney Todd. |
 Many New Rep favorites performed, including Aimee Doherty and Stephanie Umoh. |
After the performance concluded, guests proceeded to the Atrium Space at the Arsenal Center for a fantastic array of dessert treats and coffee and mingled with the show's performers. Photos and autographs were the cherry on top and a lovely ending a truly amazing evening. |
