All proceeds from the Soirée and the online silent auction will benefit the world premiere of Lindsay Joy's In the Event of My Death, directed by Padraic Lillis, to be performed at IRT Theater from August 6-21, 2016.

In the Event of My Death is about eight small-town twenty-somethings (who know each other from high school) who share an impromptu time of mourning and celebration after the suicide of a mutual friend. This play was originally developed through The Farm Theater's College Collaboration program, under the artistic direction of Padraic Lillis.
