Wolf Trap's 36th Annual Gala for Arts and Education, featuring Mary Wilson of the Supremes.

The annual black-tie affair is a highlight of the Washington, D.C. area's social scene and offers Wolf Trap supporters, as well as political and cultural leaders, an evening of fine cuisine and music in the unique surroundings of America's only National Park for the Performing Arts. The 2007 Wolf Trap Gala will kick off the summer season with a cocktail reception and elegant dinner in a beautifully decorated tent in the Lower Meadow of the National Park for the Performing Arts. After dinner, the evening culminates with an exclusive performance by Wilson and a night of dancing under the stars.

Proceeds from this event directly benefit Wolf Trap's nationally acclaimed Education Programs, including the Wolf Trap Opera Company and the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts. In classrooms across the country and around the world, the Wolf Trap Institute is offering teachers innovative and creative ways to teach, while providing children with engaging ways to learn. The goal of the Institute is to coach early childhood professionals in the use of drama, music, movement, and puppetry to help children learn literacy and academic concepts as well as life skills.
