Fall for the MET 2008

Fall for the MET was last Saturday. For the first time, we held the event in the upstairs lobby, which was quite lovely:

We had a great silent auction! Ensemble member Lisa Burl was involved in several bidding wars. She lost the Joe Williams print, but won the night at Stone Manor.

We had a little presentation honoring our outgoing board president, Shawn Pitts, who served as our president for 5 years. In appreciation we gave her (with help from event sponsor McGuire Fine Arts!) a beautiful sculpture

Then we had a little show - a preview of the rest of our 08/09 season.

Katye Williams, Sophie Arrick-Lewis and Gené Fouché show how an original MET play is put together.

Tad and Lisa read a scene from Almost, Maine

At the end of the evening, some unexpected entertainment arrived: Sophie's son, Ben (the banana) and friend.

It was a great evening - good food, good company, great entertainment, and we even made some money!
