first priority club news Dear Friends, The Heiress is a special play for me for a number of reasons, so it is with great pleasure that I invite you to see the play with me on November 5th at the Walter Kerr Theater. We’ve arranged fantastic seats for a small group of Mint friends. Add to that dinner with some very special guests, and this is surely the best way to see the production that the New York Times is calling “one of the more promising entries of the fall season.” One reason the play means so much to me is that it was written by my lovely wife Katie’s grandparents. Mint’s evening at The Heiress will be co-hosted by Katie and her mother, Judy Goetz Sanger. Judy is the only child of Ruth and Augustus Goetz, the esteemed and extraordinary husband and wife team who wrote this terrific play, inspired by the novel Washington Square by Henry James. At dinner before the show, Judy will give us some background about her parents and their very special collaboration and tell us some inside stories about how this wonderful play came into being. One other reason that the play is special to me is a story I’ll share with you on Nov. 5th, about a production I saw of the play in 1988 which helped to chart the course of the Mint Theater. Katie may also share a story about another special family connection we have with this play. We’ll gather for dinner at Angus McIndoe, 258 West 44th Street at 6:00 and then make our way to the Walter Kerr a few block away for an 8:00 curtain. We have a variety of great seats available, including 15 first row seats, another 8 in the second row, plus some great aisle pairs and for those who prefer a little broader perspective, great seats in the front mezzanine. Call us today and take your pick; first come first served. Sincerely,
Jonathan
