STAFF SPOTLIGHT: DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT, LYNNE GUGENHEIM GREGORY


Ted Sod:Tell us about yourself. Where were you born and educated? How and when did you become a Director of Development? Lynne Gugenheim Gregory: I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and moved to NYC when I was two. I was raised here on the Upper East Side, went to The Dalton School until I left for the original High School of Performing Arts, the “Fame” school. After studying theatre at the SUNY Purchase Conservatory to receive my BFA, I started “temp-ing” in offices to earn money while I auditioned. Fortunately for me, an executive took on a mentorship role and helped me transition into sales and marketing. After that, I transferred those skills back into my first passion, the theatre, to work in Development.


TS: Describe your job at RTC? What are your responsibilities? LGG: The development department raises more than $14M each year to support our operations. In addition we are raising $50M as part of


our 50th Anniversary Campaign. We have a team of 17 and my job is two-fold – first, I fundraise from the Board of Directors and also from some of our most major corporations, foundations and individuals. Secondly, I lead the team, providing strategy, direction, support, encouragement, advice and training, where needed.


TS: What is the best part of your job? What is the hardest part?


LGG: The best part of my job is the people I get to work with. The hardest part is when something doesn’t go the way we would wish.


TS: Why do you choose to work at Roundabout? LGG: Theatre is my first passion and I actually do appreciate and enjoy most of what we produce here at the Theatre. It’s critical to really love what it is I’m raising money for.
