Annual Benefits


Sundog Theatre’s Annual Benefit 2025


Join us for a fun evening filled with games of skill and chance, delicious food and tasty snacks, and performances to raise funds for Sundog Theatre.

This year, we will honor three outstanding individuals within the Staten Island community who have supported educational and arts: Carol Ann Benanti, columnist and reporter for the Staten Island Advance; Dennis McKeon, Director of Where to Turn and The Prop Shop; and Yvette Washington-Wheatley, Instrumental Music Teacher at Staten Island Academy and director of multiple instrumental groups at the Brighton Heights Reformed Church.

Sundog Theatre’s programs impact the lives of our entire community through arts-in-education programs, in-school assemblies & touring shows, theatrical presentations and musical theatre classes.  As a not-for-profit organization, we are largely supported by grants and donations. Our annual benefit raises funds to keep current programs afloat and affordable.

We invite you to join us in honoring them and support arts & education by becoming a sponsor at our event.

Thank you in advance for your generous support!

Sincerely,
Susan Fenley
Executive Director
