Description

A standout summer event, our annual Stage and Screen Gala highlights our commitment to provide exceptional cinematic and cultural opportunities for Nantucket, year-round, in our downtown theater. Special guests have included Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, and Bill Belichick. Our special guest for 2015 will be Geena Davis.

As the event’s headliner, Ms. Davis, who was born in Massachusetts and graduated from Boston University, will attend the event and participate in a question and answer session during the Gala’s one-hour program. The program, which will take place on the Dreamland stage, will also include a performance by the children who are part of the Dreamland’s performing arts program. The evening will begin at 6 pm with a champagne reception in the lobby followed by the program in the theater at 7 pm and a party on the second floor of the Dreamland at 8 pm.

“We are delighted to welcome Geena Davis to the Dreamland stage this summer,” said Melissa Murphy, the Dreamland Foundation’s executive director. “Her stellar accomplishments as an actor coupled with her work as an advocate for gender equality in media make her the perfect headliner for our third annual gala and a wonderful role model for our young theater students."
