Their unwavering commitment, generosity, and passion for theater have left an indelible mark on BSC and our broader artistic community. Adding to the excitement, we are thrilled to present a special performance by one of our own — the sensational Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer. A BSC Associate Artist and Broadway powerhouse, Leslie’s dazzling presence and immense talent are sure to make this Gala an unforgettable night. Join us as we raise a toast to the Schulman’s, to the power of live theatre, and to the vibrant future we continue to build together.”
