From the<br />
President of the<br />
Women’s Board<br />
The <strong>Goodman</strong>’s 2010/2011 Season included<br />
three exciting events planned and hosted by<br />
the <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> Women’s Board, plus a<br />
very successful Women’s Board Annual Fund<br />
campaign led by Co-Chairs Linda Aylesworth<br />
and Mindy Berkson. In all, the Women’s Board<br />
projects raised $1.75 million for the theater. A<br />
portion of these funds was allocated to sponsor<br />
the world premiere production of Chinglish.<br />
On September 26 we launched the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s<br />
10th anniversary on Dearborn Street with a<br />
Season Opening Celebration featuring Candide,<br />
directed by Manilow Resident Director Mary<br />
Zimmerman. The festivities included cocktails and<br />
dinner at the Modern Wing of the Art Institute,<br />
a special tribute to Founding Chairman Stanley<br />
Freehling and Honorary President Lewis Manilow,<br />
and a performance of Candide at the <strong>Goodman</strong>.<br />
Special thanks goes to Co-Chairs Carol Prins and<br />
John Hart, Vicki and Bill Hood and Susan and Bob<br />
Wislow for their leadership of this wonderful event.<br />
Our annual Fame Fantasy Food Adventure Auction<br />
was held on February 7 at The Peninsula Chicago.<br />

These events could not have occurred without the<br />
generous support of the individuals and corporations<br />
who sponsored, contributed auction items,<br />
gave in-kind donations or services and attended<br />
as guests. For a complete listing of event sponsors<br />
please see pages 24– 25. I would especially<br />
like to thank American Airlines, the Exclusive<br />
Airline of <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>, for its tremendous<br />
support of the Auction and Gala Raffle.<br />
Finally, I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to<br />
the entire Women’s Board for its amazing work<br />
throughout the season. The Women’s Board plays<br />
an important role at <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>, and its<br />
ongoing commitment and dedication is crucial<br />
to the theater’s success. It is a privilege to work<br />
with this exceptional group of women.<br />
