Playbill News: Arena Stage Gets a Record Gift to a U.S. Theatre — Nearly $35 Million

Playbill News: Arena Stage Gets a Record Gift to a U.S. Theatre — Nearly $35 Million: "Arena Stage in Washington, DC, announced Dec. 6 that it has received donations totaling more than $100 million — including a record $35 million single gift — for the renovation of its facilities and the creation of a modern theatre campus.

This historic milestone was made possible by local philanthropists Gilbert and Jaylee Mead, who donated close to $35 million toward the project, prompting Arena to honor their exceptional generosity by naming the new complex Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater."
