This event transported attendees to New York City within the Arsht Center as guests were greeted by a roomful of city lights and a familiar skyline during the brunch in the B. and Donald Carlin Banquet Hall. The young and the "young at heart" guests were then led down to view "Forbidden Broadway" at 2pm in the intimate Carnival Studio Theater- featuring outrageous costumes, hilarious spoofs of Broadway's best songs, and madcap impressions by the stellar NY cast.

Attendees included Katie Dean, Stephanie Cofino, Maria and Al Maloof, Rafa Carvajal and Julie Stotlar, and Amy Rosenberg. With over 100 guests, this event was a success and many made new friends with whom to attend future shows. "It's great to see such beautiful young crowd interested in the arts and contributing money through their new memberships at the Arsht Center," says Arsht Center new VP of Development, Arthur Hernandez.

The Green Room Society holds events that introduce a new group of young Miamians to Adrienne Arsht Center and the performing arts. Two years ago, a group of about 20 enthusiastic young leaders helped launch the Green Room Society. Today the group boasts over 150 members and contributes a significant amount to the annual goals of the Center each year. The group is committed to developing and expanding audiences, while building a significant community of young individuals who have a passion for the performing arts. Their efforts are essential to the future success of the Adrienne Arsht Center and to the performing arts in South Florida.

Members make annual contributions of $125 or more. Their generosity and vital work for the Center is rewarded through numerous benefits, which include special access to cocktails parties, performances and educational activities, giving them a unique entrée into the Center and the performing arts as a whole.

Contributions from the GRS help support the Center's commitment to diversify, broaden and strengthen its audience through arts and education programs in the community for young people and their families from a variety of ethnic, geographic and socio-economic backgrounds.
