This week, Thomas Drury-Wang, Founder and President of the Audeville Society, talks about how his nonprofit is centering performing arts in New England. The Audeville Society provides grants to those looking to build their portfolio and provides an accessible way to enrich the community through encouraging performers to follow their dreams. 

Each year the Audeville Society raises funds for these grants through the Revelry Ball, which is held on February 28th, 2026, at the Royale in Boston, MA. Ticket prices as well as additional donations are used to fund the grant programs, truly making it a by New England for New England affair. This year, Revelry will provide a three-act variety featuring local performers from acrobatics to trombonists, allowing patrons to start the year with a bang.
