About Last Night: Next Society Celebration at River Café

The cast of A Doll's House poses under the New York skyline with Karen Brooks Hopkins and Joe Melillo.

The scene Sunday night was perfect for an event: a candle-lit restaurant overlooking the East River, the New York skyline looming, the Brooklyn Bridge overhead. After a matinee performance, the lauded cast of A Doll’s House joined BAM’s Next Society members at The River Café  for the annual dinner event.

exclusive events such as this dinner with the cast.

A few minutes into the meal, BAM President Karen Brooks Hopkins took the microphone to welcome and thank everyone present. She also took the occasion to honor River Café owner Buzzy O’Keefe, who recently reopened the restaurant after Hurricane Sandy damaged the restaurant virtually beyond repair.
