The Broadway Brunch Patrons Party Sees Record-Breaking Attendance

Donors and ardent theater supporters gathered at Fletcher Foster’s West Nashville home for the Broadway Brunch Patrons Party, a prelude to the 11th annual Broadway Brunch. The key fundraiser supports the Nashville Repertory Theatre’s mission to entertain and inspire by creating theater that explores the diversity of the human experience and supporting local actors. Proceeds from Broadway Brunch also fund the Rep’s community outreach programs, including camps, classes and training sessions — many of which give young people opportunities to connect with the performing arts.

Revelers gathered outside — on a covered terrace overlooking the pool — as co-chairs Angela Bostelman-Kaczmarek and Anne Elizabeth McIntosh mingled and shared details about the upcoming brunch. Servers passed trays of hors d’oeuvres, and Cater615 provided a delicious buffet. Event planner Bruce Pittman and his team ensured the evening ran smoothly.

Board chair Mark Peacock joined Angela and Anne Elizabeth to thank guests for their continued support of the Rep. He also acknowledged the death of Martha Ingram and reflected on her profound impact on the arts in Nashville — something Angela and Anne Elizabeth both echoed.

“What a blessing it is to be together tonight and remember the amazing gift that Mrs. Ingram was to our community — and the Rep, especially,” Angela said. “I believe if she is looking down on us all right now, she would be very happy with this amazing turnout.”

The co-chairs also offered special thanks to the event’s underwriters, Connie and Nick Diediker, Mary Gingrass and the Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville, and Nancy and Mark Peacock.

As the evening drew to a close, guests lingered over a final cocktail, raising their glasses in a round of toasts to the upcoming Broadway Brunch
