Streeet Theatre in Sag Harbor had their annual Summer Gala Benefit,
their largest fundraiser of the year, last week. They
raised $400,000 to support many of their many year-round activities
including the Mainstage Series, Summer Mondays, KidStreet –
programming for young audiences, and the Educational Outreach Initiative
that includes the Summer Internship program, Continuing classes and
the Young Playwrights Program, bringing theatre arts education to
students throughout the East End’s middle and high schools.
There was
dinner, dancing and a big auction where they sold vacation stays in
Jamaica and London, jewelry, memorabilia, a 3-month world cruise on
a Crystal Cruise ship, a Target&Nascar Race weekend, a 7 night
stay in a villa in Tuscany, all kinds of things. The highlight of
the evening was the Live “Fantasy” Auction which featured
special Guest Auctioneeers including Alec Baldwin, Mario Cantone,
John DeLuca and Rob Marshall, Mercedes Ruehl, Roy
Sheider and B. Smith. One of the items was
a paid of diamond earrings from Harry Winston which was modeled by
