 BOARD OPPORTUNITY
From
Christie Hefner, Chairman of Hatch Beauty:
A longtime friend and trustee of the GlobeTheater reached out to me as they are likely in the near future to want to add a Chicago-based director to the Globe's board. The board meets four times a year: Three times in NYC and one time in London. The financial requirement is a give or get in the neighborhood of $10,000; and the idea is to do one or two events in Chicago, including one tied to a performance at Chicago Shakes of a Globe production. I am not able to do it, but believe that this would be a very rewarding opportunity to support an extraordinary arts organization.
