ANNUAL FUNDRAISING GALA – FEATURING SEASON OPENER ‘WEST SIDE STORY’

The Mac-Haydn Theatre’s Annual Fundraising Gala will be held on Friday, June 14, 2024. The night will begin with hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction at 5:30pm accompanied by a performance of the theatre’s season-opener, “West Side Story,” at 7pm. Tickets are $100 each.

“It’s my favorite time of year,” said Mac-Haydn Board President Paul Colarusso. “The annual gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we couldn’t be more excited to launch into the 2024 season. Audience contributions are essential to our success and what better time than a fabulous party to celebrate our opening!”

The event serves as an opportunity for guests to meet and get to know the cast, crew, creatives, and administrators of the Mac-Haydn at the party following the performance. The evening will be catered by La Bella Valatie, and guests will enjoy an open bar and special performances by leading company members, who are set to preview some highlights from the season ahead.

All proceeds raised at the Annual Fundraising Gala support the Mac-Haydn’s theatrical programming.

“The Mac-Haydn Theatre has been an essential part of the cultural fabric of Columbia County and the greater Capital Region for more than half a century,” says Mac-Haydn Development Committee Chair Brian Wagner. “Tens of thousands of patrons pass through our doors every summer, a testament to the impact and importance of our mission: to produce professional theater where aspiring performers, creatives, and technicians can hone their craft alongside established professionals and local talent.”

“Our Annual Gala is an important–and fun–way in which we all come together to celebrate the Mac-Haydn and raise significant support for the next 50 years.”
