Dear Friends:
It is a great pleasure to welcome everyone to the Doug Varone and Dancers’ 25 th
Anniversary Celebration.
New York City is a cultural capital of the world, and the best place anywhere to
experience the performing arts. We are home to some of the best known and well-respected
venues, companies, and one of the premier destinations for the most talented people in the arts.
For the past 25 years, Doug Varone and Dancers has been an integral part of New York’s
cultural landscape, and their groundbreaking work has been recognized across the globe. Their
educational and residency programs are crucial to inspiring the next generation of leaders in the
performing arts, and have enriched the cultural lives of so many throughout our City. Doug
Varone’s work as a choreographer and director has been brought to life across theater, opera, and
dance. His influence has been felt in a number of venerable productions, and we’re glad to join
in commemorating this auspicious occasion. Together, we’re looking forward to another 25 and
more years of achievement from this terrific company.
On behalf of the City of New York, please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable event
and continued success.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Bloomberg
Mayor
