Steppenwolf Raises $60k for Education Programs

Stage Directions: Steppenwolf’s Auxiliary Council raised close to $60,000 for Steppenwolf’s arts education program, Steppenwolf for Young Adults. The Red or White Ball fundraiser was held at Chicago’s Venue One and Tarell Alvin McCraney, a playwright and MacArthur “Genius Grant” award winner, was the honorary host. The annual Red or White Ball serves as the primary fundraiser for the Steppenwolf Auxiliary Council, a community of more than 100 dynamic young professionals who strengthen the theater's ability to advance artistic experimentation and collaboration by developing new financial resources and new audiences for the creation and presentation of innovative theater.
