AUDITORIUM THEATRE GALA

Following the 90-minute Ailey dance program at the Auditorium, a diverse gathering of 260 Gala guests enjoyed a festive evening of cocktails, dinner, an awards presentation, and dancing at the Palmer House Hilton. The Auditorium honored two Chicago cultural dynamos: Auditorium Theatre’s most recent past chair and longtime board member Ann Nash and veteran arts and philanthropy consultant Amina Dickerson. The Gala was co-chaired by Tom Baryl, Tom Nash, Isobel Neal, and Nicole Robinson, and raised $225,000 to support the Auditorium Theatre’s programming and preservation of the National Historic Landmark Theatre. auditoriumtheatre.org
