On Monday night we headed to Arena Stage at the Southwest Waterfront for a one-night special performance by Bebe Neuwirth!

Here, the Tony and Emmy winning actress performs to the delight of the audience. The one-night only performance coincided with a special dinner gala featuring a VIP cocktail reception, seated dinner and a "Sips and Sweets" post-show party.

In addition to the performance, the audience was also there to honor Arena Stage Emeritus Trustee Arlene Kogod with the Beth Newburger Schwartz Award, in recognition of her continuous support to Arena Stage over the years. Here, Kogod accepts the award and is flanked by board chair Judith Batty, Arena Stage executive director Edgar Dobie, artistic director Molly Smith and Arena Stage patron and award namesake, Beth Newburger Schwartz.
