Enjoy the best stories and perspectives from the theatre world today.
Today, we continue our fun daily video series leading up to Saturday’s big “Saturday Night Alive” gala, which is expected to raise up to $1 million for the DCPA’s Education programs.. In this series, we call your attention to the committee chairs who make the gala happen. First up: Susan Stiff, area Director of Public Relations for Starwood Hotels and Resorts, including the downtown Westin Hotel; chair for the 2015 Saturday Night Alive fundraiser for DCPA Education … and former high-school pom-pom girl.
Stiff vividly remembers going to The Nutcracker as a child with her Aunt Dorothy, who was wearing a fox boa -… who talked to Susan. She swears.
Last year, the DCPA’s Education Division engaged more than 68,000 students of all ages.
Jessie Mueller and Jarrod Spector, stars of the Tony Award-nominated hit Broadway musical Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, will share the stage March 7 as co-headliners of this year’s Saturday Night Alive fundraiser. Mueller won the 2014 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and Spector was nominated for Best Actor.
