Kim Stauffer
Guests will arrive to the jazz stylings of Rich Vinette Quintet. Local luminaries will surprise and delight by being “miscast” in monologues or songs they would never be cast in but always dreamed of playing, featuring Josh Aaron McCabe, Kelly Galvin, Kim Stauffer, and Ryan Winkles. Festivities continue with the rambling music of master guitarist Don McGrory and bassist Miles Lally by the campfire.
Hosted by Hilltop Orchards, the evening’s guests will be the first to learn about this year’s beneficiary plus meet the cast and see a sneak peek from WAM Theatre’s fall mainstage production, HOLY LAUGHTER.
All contributions made to the Rogovoy Report between now and July 12, 2015, will count toward the thank-you giveaway. No other enrollment is necessary. As always, those who have set up recurring payments to the Rogovoy Report will automatically be enrolled in the giveaway — set up a recurring donation now to take advantage of more upcoming offers such as this one, including free dinners for two at the region’s finest restaurants and tickets to various spring and summer performing arts events.

Like the Rogovoy Report itself, WAM Theatre is a local entity founded in 2010 by artistic director Kristen van Ginhoven. Inspired by the book “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide” by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, WAM Theatre is nonprofit based in Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
WAM Theatre’s philanthropic mission is two-fold: first, to create theatrical events for everyone, with a focus on women theatre artists and/or stories of women and girls; and second, to donate a portion of the proceeds from those events to organizations that benefit women and girls. Since 2010, WAM Theatre has donated more than $15,500 to its beneficiaries.
