Goodman Celebrates
Premiere Supporters
On March 16, more than 150 guests gathered at Petterino’s for an
exciting pre-show dinner to celebrate the Goodman’s committed
Premiere Society members. Members of the Goodman’s Artistic
Collective and the Goodman Theatre Board of Trustees had the
opportunity to thank our donors for their tremendous support. After
dinner, donors went to the theater for a performance of Yasmina
Reza’s hilarious God of Carnage. It was a wonderful evening!
