"On Saturday, March 13, 2021 more than 300 households around the region joined us from the comfort of their homes for a virtual Gala celebration! Together we raised a glass while raising more than $1,050,000 to ensure Seattle Rep's strong future and return to the stage in the year ahead. What a night!"
Seattle Rep - Revitalize Our Future
Event Information
Hosted by Julie Briskman and Justin Huertas, the program included an online auction with one-of-a-kind experiences and prizes, a virtual Raise-the-Paddle to support Seattle Rep, and special appearances by beloved artists from past Seattle Rep productions, including:
- E. Faye Butler (Pullman Porter Blues) and Felton Offard
- Conrad Ricamora and Here Lies Love Cast Members

Overview
- Production partner Ariel Glassman produced the overall event and pre-show interviews
- Prior to the live event, we shot a series of interviews with key directors and stakeholders, which we then edited into content videos that were used throughout the live program
- On-site at Seattle Rep we built out a multi-camera system with both robotic and human-opped cameras
- With no live audience, the seats were a perfect place to construct a control room
- Emcees were off-site in their own homes, but were able to emcee the entire program live, replete with banter between them and the on-location talent
- Punch Drunk provided Redcat™ remote production kits to the two emcees for superb quality video and audio with full control over the remote systems from the on-site control room
