FOUNDATION
“Initially, Signature’s outstanding
theatrical productions were reason
enough for me to support its
innovative and unique celebration
of the playwright. When I learned
about Signature’s Ticket Initiative,
which brings world-class theatre
within reach of every community
in New York, I knew I had to make
a serious commitment to help.
IT’S A SOCIAL ISSUE FOR ME.”
– CATHLEEN COLLINS, SIGNATURE TRUSTEE
