Metro Theater Company’s "After Dark"

Metro Theater Company (MTC)’s major fundraising event  After Dark  went virtual this year to protect the health of its supporters and expand the event’s reach worldwide. Originally scheduled for May 7, the gala was postponed to  earlier this fall. It was still a major success, raising more than $90,000. 

 After Dark  is a celebration of MTC’s local impact and national reputation. The event kicked off MTC’s 48th season featuring appearances from past and present  MTC artists, a range of fun  video surprises, a curated  silent auction, and a major announcement connected to MTC’s  new strategic plan. Guests enjoyed drinks and a three-course meal from  Butler’s Pantry  as well as a special  After Dark  Party Bag—all delivered directly to patrons’ doors.  

Emerson and Centene served as the event’s lead Luminary sponsors. All proceeds of  After Dark  benefit MTC’s programming, including school arts integrated residencies, the  Say Something, Do Something.  violence prevention program, and the 2020-21 season productions.
