This black-tie signature event, chaired by WUSA9 news anchor JC Hayward, supports Arena's robust Community Engagement programs and featured a special performance by two-time Tony Award nominee Kate Baldwin and legendary composer Sheldon Harnick.

With the first performance of Woolly's Clybourne Park remount in exactly one week, influential DC leaders are jumping at the chance to spark post-show conversations with audience members in Woolly's effort to program a post-show event after every performance of the show.
Last year, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company's production of Clybourne Park launched the theatre's connectivity initiative, which aims to bring uniquely designed audiences to each production to expand and deepen the conversation engendered by the play. Events around Clybourne Park included widespread online conversation around the show- initiated by neighborhood bloggers-as well as Audience Exchanges and Mammoth Forums with DC community members.
