FROM THE CO-CHAIRSOn Monday, June 12, the Shakespeare Theatre Company held
its 15th annual Will on the Hill event. The largest cast to date,
we welcomed 40 distinguished Members of Congress, national
media personalities, corporate VIPs and senior Hill staff to Sidney
Harman Hall and raised $510,000 for the Company’s year-round
education and community engagement programs.
Following the pre-performance reception with Members of
Congress and Washington influencers, guests settled in for the
show. The Will on the Hill performance was preceded by a unique
performance of the balcony scene from Romeo & Juliet prepared
by the Company’s star Text Alive! class from Thomas Jefferson
High School for Science and Technology—a key demonstration of
the programs supported by Will on the Hill’s fundraising efforts.
The highlight of the evening was a performance of the original
play Met By Moonlight, written by Peter Byrne with assistance
from West Wing Writers. The illustrious cast was led by 30 Rock star Maulik Pancholy, D.C.-native Emily Swallow of The Mentalist, Ian Kahn, best known as George Washington on Turn: Washington’s Spies, and Santino Fontana of Broadway’s Cinderella
and Disney’s Frozen. Fellow cast members included U.S. Secretary
of the Interior The Honorable Ryan Zinke, Senator Chris Coons
(D-DE), The Honorable Kim Darroch (British Ambassador to the
United States), Grover Norquist (Americans for Tax Reform), Ari
Shapiro (NPR) and nearly 20 U.S. Representatives including Reps.
Daniel M. Donovan (R-NY), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), George
Holding (R-NC) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). The show “warmed
our bipartisan-craving hearts” (Roll Call), and found creative ways
to work in good-natured jabs at contemporary political issues
while still centering on the theme of working across the aisle. Of
course, the power of Shakespeare triumphed in the end!
The evening concluded with a buffet dinner attended by Will
on the Hill sponsors, cast members, the Honorary Hill Advisory
Committee and Will on the Hill’s Media Partner The Hill.
On behalf of the Shakespeare Theatre Company and all those who
participate in its programming, we would like to extend our most
sincere gratitude and appreciation to all who made this year’s Will
on the Hill possible. Your commitment is crucial to the continued
success of the Company’s work to bring arts education programs
to so many high school and middle school classrooms throughout
