Welcome to our 2016 Annual Gala & Auction: Verge.

I’ve always been obsessed with horizons. Growing up spending summers on the Jersey shore teaches you that there’s nothing more beautiful and full of possibility than the line where sea meets sky. It’s full of perfection in its form, and mystery in its content. “What lies beyond that horizon?” is the question that has driven mankind’s voyages through the millennia.

When we meet characters in plays, they are almost always on the verge. On the verge of discovery, revelation, realization. On the verge of madness – on the verge of euphoria. They begin a journey which is largely uncharted, and by watching, we take it with them. One of my favorite poets, John O’Donohue, often writes about thresholds. The thresholds of our lives are what art probes and investigates. Art allows us to live in those thresholds for awhile, and hopefully, to learn from them.

Tonight we celebrate being on the verge. We’ve laid foundations, we’ve built a community, we’ve begun creating a body of work and making decisions about what we stand for as theater makers. We’ve begun investigating edges and seeing what happens when we dare to journey beyond.

Thank you for being with us tonight, and joining us as we forge a path into places unknown. We remain, as always, honored by your companionship and your support.

call out the table with the highest collective total.

5. That table will send a runner to choose a sweet treat for the

whole table. We’ll keep calling out table numbers in

NEW THIS YEAR: ALMOST LIVE!

Don’t forget to visit our “Almost LIVE” table, where the crème-

de-la-crème of our silent auction now resides. Bidding is open

later than our silent tables, but it will end before the live auction

starts. Don’t miss out on these fantastic experiences and items!

NEW THIS YEAR: PRODUCTION DONATIONS

Throughout tonight’s venue, you may notice production photos

from our past 2015-16 Mainstage Season. These are a great way

to make a direct donation to ArtsWest in support of theater

production. Simply write in your bid number next to a donation

amount, and your generous donation will directly impact

ArtsWest’s work. The best part? You can’t be “outbid” since

these are direct donation write-ins!

ARTSWEST GALLERY ART

Bid on beautiful original art pieces created by artists who have

been featured or will be featured in ArtsWest’s gallery. Half of

the minimum bid will support these artists so they can continue

producing compelling works of art.

END OF EVENING GRAB BAGS

Outbid on an item, or didn’t quite see something that called out

to you? At the end of the evening, you will have a chance to

raise your paddle and win your pick of our Grab Bags. Your prize

may be left to chance, but your support of ArtsWest will not be.

This is an amazing way to “pay-what-you-can” in support of our

compelling, provocative works.
