An Underground Evening for the Arts – Sundog Theatre 2026 Gala

Join us for An Underground Evening for the Arts – the Sundog Theatre 2026 Gala. Enjoy a sophisticated evening featuring a cocktail reception, tasty food, open bar, themed experiences, and more, all in support of Sundog Theatre’s mission to bring the arts to our community.

Sundog Theatre enriches the lives of people across Staten Island through arts-in-education programs, in-school assemblies and touring productions, theatrical performances, and musical theatre classes. As a not-for-profit organization, Sundog relies heavily on grants and donations to keep these programs accessible and affordable.

We also invite you to consider honoring one or more of our distinguished honorees with a journal ad or sponsorship. We are proud to honor the following remarkable members of the Staten Island community, whose dedication to the arts and education has made a lasting impact:

Linda Baran; President & CEO of the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce.

Kristine Garlisi; Executive Director of The Lois & Richard Nicotra Foundation & COO of The Nicotra Group.

Craig Stoebling; Director and former NYC theatre teacher.

Psst.. Here is a sneak peak of some of our planned themed experiences:
