Leftovers: A Salon with The Associates Theater Ensemble

(Theater Mitu, 2019)

I first met Peregrine Heard, the Artistic Director of The Associates, at Petee’s Pie in the Lower East Side. It was the first time I’d ever had Petee’s, and, given how amazing their pie was, Petee’s then became a favorite destination of mine. The added bonus was that I got the producing gig!

Over the course of several months, I planned and executed the ensemble’s annual fundraising gala and performance, which took place in December, just after Thanksgiving—hence the “leftovers” theme. (Yes, there was Petee’s pie, of course!)

I solicited corporate donations for the event (food and drinks for the guests, as well as items for the live auction) and patron gifts before, during, and after the event.
