Maggie: Up in Lights
She is a true storyteller who has shared her talents over the past 30 years as the Producing Artistic Director of Capital Repertory Theatre.
We invite you to join us as we celebrate Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at Wolferts Roost in Loudonville. Cocktails, passed hors d’oeuvres and food stations, and lively reminiscing with Maggie will be the highlights of this fundraising event.
During her tenure at theREP, Maggie has directed more than 125 productions, workshops, readings, and created numerous literary and local history-based plays for the REP’s On-the-Go Touring productions which reach more than 15,000 students annually. Maggie has helped guide the organization through changes in leadership, the development of a new venue during a global pandemic, launch scores of careers in the arts, and most importantly has introduced thousands of residents to new productions and sparked a love for theatre in generations of children in upstate New York.
Proceeds from the event will support theREP’s education programs which offer powerful arts experiences that instill creativity, compassion, and self-esteem to local students.
This event will be held at Wolferts Roost Country Club, 120 Van Rensselaer Blvd, Albany, NY
