Guests were invited for cocktails and hors doeuvres in the Campbell Lobby of BAM's
Harvey Theater preceding the opening night performance of Krapp's Last Tape, starring two-time Oscar nominee John Hurt. After an "achingly fine performance" (
NY Times) by Hurt, guests were led to our neighbor,
Skylight One Hanson, for a gorgeous dinner setting.
As guests enjoyed a delectable dinner by
Great Performances, BAM's exclusive caterer, and
Chamisal Vineyards wine, graciously donated by Joseph & Diane Steinberg, they were surrounded by a stunning and festive landscape designed by the always amazing
Fleurs Bella Beautifiers.
Gift bags with items from
nunu Chocolates,
poppin,
Perseus Books,
Not For Tourists,
The Body Shop, and
The Hampton Popcorn Company were bestowed upon guests as the evening came to a close.
The evening was co-chaired by Producers Council members Rina & Takis Anoussis, Carley Roney & David Liu, and Jennifer Small & Adam Wolfensohn. Our Artist Circle Chairs, Charles M. Nathan & Alisa F. Levin, as well as our Honorary Chair, Eugene Downes, the Chief Executive from Culture Ireland, and Honorary Corporate Chair, Pamela Codispoti, Executive Vice President for American Express Consumer Cards, were all in attendance.
The festive evening garnered great coverage from many publications including
New York Social Diary and
Bloomberg.
