On June 30, we held an amazing fundraiser to benefit our education programs here at the Arts Club. An intimate group of 60 joined us and the cast of our upcoming production of Glengarry Glen Ross at a super-secret (and fabulous) private West Vancouver home. The cast features the amazing talents of Eric McCormack, Bart Anderson, John Pyper Ferguson, Vincent Gale, Daren Herbert, Brian Markinson, Gerard Plunkett and guests were thrilled at the opportunity to mix and mingle with them before rehearsals got underway!

Board Member Leah Costello and Director of Development Natasha Klein welcomed attendees with cocktails and desserts, as they waited for the Glengarry cast and Artistic Director Bill Millerd to arrive. Chauffeured to the evening in a very swanky Porsche Panamera and Range Rover ( thanks to MCL Motor Cars!), the crowd was thrilled when the guests of honour arrived and the night got underway.
Bill, Eric, and the cast shared an insider look at the upcoming production with guests and media such as ET Canada, CBC, and The Vancouver Sun, including how the show came to be and what the rehearsal process would entail. There were many photos, many cocktails and sweets, and much fun!
Thanks to everyone who attended and especially the cast of Glengarry Glen Ross for making the night a special success!
