Flynn Friends at Wake Robin has grown thanks to Ellen Reid. For years, Ellen has organized a group of Wake Robin theater enthusiasts to sponsor a student matinee performance; she now she has two sponsor groups that help keep our matinees affordable for children. This year, our Wake Robin friends joined students for performances of Freedom Train: Harriet Tubman’s Underground Railroad and Pilobolus.


Ellen Reid: “The Flynn student matinees create a wonderful opportunity to expose our youngsters to live theater! It’s a priceless gift to them and a privilege for us to be able to help make the programs possible.”


wife Paulette have been individual members of the Flynn for several years, and last year gave an unexpected corporate membership gift as well.


Bart now shares the business with his son Collin, who moved back to Vermont with his family in 2004. “We live and work in our community,” says Bart. “If we want our community to be vibrant, we need to participate and contribute. A good performing arts program is a fun part of that vibrancy.”

The Windjammer and founding owner Walt Levering have supported the Flynn, in countless ways. Prior to our renovation in 2000, the Windjammer provided hospitality services for our monthly trustee meetings. Windjammer chefs also provided gourmet entrees for the Flynn’s Fine Wine and Food Festival Premier Tasting Dinners for many years and, more recently, catered our 2012 Flynn Green Mountain Classic Pro-Am Golf Tournament dinner. When we formed the Dining Circle of Corporate Membership, Windjammer was the first restaurant to support us.


Dan Phelan, General Manager: “Burlington is known as a cultural hub in Vermont and the Flynn Center is its arts venue. The Flynn’s presence is vital in keeping the arts alive in our community and we are proud to support such an outstanding organization.”
