EVENT RECAP
Venus in Fur
Thank you to all who supported our Venus in Fur theater benefit on November 15th at Manhattan Theatre Club. After riveting performances by Nina Arianda and Hugh Dancy, Assistant Director Ross Evans led a discussion with NCS theatergoers. Mr. Evans’ anecdotes and questions about the play and its characters facilitated great insight and interesting interpretations. Thank you again to our supporters who made this event a great success.

Spring Into Summer Benefit
Our Spring into Summer benefit on May 24th was a great success. We are grateful that so many were able to join us to honor Alexandra and Frederick W. Peters, Not for Profit board consultant and President, Warburg Realty, respectively, and Carl A. Goldman, former NCS board member and President, Corporate Capital Consultants. Our emcee and auctioneer, Nick Dawes, encouraged bidders for the silent and live auctions while long time volunteer Audrey Silver donated her time and talent and filled the Central Park Boathouse with jazz. For the third year in a row, our friend, walk-around magician, Josh Beckerman, provided fun with his style of close-up magic and comedy. We are grateful to everyone who helped NCS raise funds for critical services to the homeless and formerly homeless of New York.

Pitmen Painters Theater Event
The Pitmen Painters benefit at the Manhattan Theatre Club on October 5th was a great success and was enjoyed by all who attended. NCS is very grateful to everyone who supported the event. After the performance, Event Co-Chair and Board Member, Stephanie Guest, introduced our guests to her long-time friend and one of the stars of The Pitmen Painters, Ian Kelly. Fresh from the night’s performance, Ian told us the story of how he was introduced to Lee Hall, the writer of the production, and shared some wonderful stories about the history of the real Pitmen Painters. Ian took questions from the crowd as guests enjoyed desserts and champagne. We were all very delighted to have Ian speak after the performance—the perfect ending to a wonderful evening!
