We invite you to join fellow Ivy League alumni for an exclusive evening at the stunning, newly designed Gulfshore Playhouse.

The evening begins in Struthers Hall, where you can mingle and connect over a curated selection of wine, sparkling water, and a delicious spread of artisan cheeses, charcuterie, seasonal fruits, and crudités.

Following the reception, we are honored to host two visionary leaders for an insightful discussion:

  • Kristen Coury, CEO of Gulfshore Playhouse, will share the bold vision behind the state-of-the-art Baker Theatre and Education Center and its vibrant role in the cultural life of Naples.
  • James Bundy, Dean of the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and Artistic Director of Yale Repertory Theatre, will illuminate the future of American theater and the dynamic relationship between professional stages and conservatory education.

To conclude the evening, you will be guided on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Baker Theatre and Education Center, exploring the rehearsal rooms and technical shops that make this premier company a national leader in artistic excellence.
