On Friday, October 23, 2009, from 3:00-7:30p.m. the Parents Leadership Council will be hosting a fundraiser in support of the students who will be living, learning and performing in the Paramount Center. Families are invited to invest in the "Take Your Seat" initiative with leadership gifts of $1,000 or more. Recognition for this gift includes two spots on a VIP tour, admission to the cocktail reception, and the name of your student on a seatback in the stunning new Paramount Center.
Theatre donors will be invited to join Chair of Performing Arts Melia Bensussen for a sneak peek at the Paramount Center. This VIP tour will offer an insider look at our newest campus facility--and its fabulous art deco theater--in the heart of Boston's historic Theatre District. Learn more about the Paramount of yesterday, the history of theater in Boston, and Emerson's plans for this living, learning and performing space.
Following the tour, join President Liebergott for a social cocktail reception for parents that will set the stage for a weekend of fun activities. Guests will have the pleasure of meeting student and faculty leaders.
