  • So, today, we brought you

  • to a fundraising event

  • at the Algonquin

  • Arts Theatre,

  • which is a nonprofit

  • theater company

  • that teaches children all about the arts.

  • Okay, so...

  • You're gonna be giving them a full presentation

  • about how

  • you spent their money.

  • I'm guessing we misallocated funds.

  • Ah, I mean, it'd be a good bet. I'll tell you that much.

  • Murr: Oh, wow, you got a lot of people in suits here.

  • A lot of serious-looking

  • donors here.

  • Hi, everyone. We raised so much money.

  • Thank you all for making it possible.

  • Murr: The Algonquin has spent the past five months

  • raising money to upgrade their theater

  • and they just raised $125 grand at their annual gala.

  • From these people.

  • They want to know where their money went.

  • Man: We're excited to introduce two gentlemen

  • who are putting the money

  • to great use.

  • Our new treasurer

  • and our new secretary.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -Get them up here. -Oh, here we go.

  • Sal: Hello, everyone. How are you?

  • We're gonna take you through

  • some of the ways

  • we've been allocating the funds over the last few months.

  • State-of-the-art coat room.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Motorized coat organization and delivery system.

  • Q: Tell them about the app.

  • There's a downloadable app

  • that lets you check on the status of your coat

  • during a performance.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • This was $60,000.

  • $60,000 to do this.

  • [ Audience murmuring ]

  • You don't want to lose the coat,

  • because then your night's ruined

  • and you're literally out in the cold.

  • -She's furious. -Okay.

  • How about we have an in-house choreographer in residence,

  • Enrico McPartland.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, and...

  • Murr: That's the picture of Pete McPartland,

  • our executive producer.

  • When you have to outsource choreography,

  • they really hit you over the head.

  • So we decided to bring in Enrico McPartland,

  • protégé and ex-lover of Twyla Tharp.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Q: Sal, get the paper down!

  • We just got him

  • for $95,000 a year

  • and we're putting him up for nine months

  • Murr: [ Laughing ] Nine months?

  • Do you know

  • how expensive that is?

  • Any other thoughts on Enrico?

  • -It's gonna be great. -Yeah.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Sal: How about there's a new handicap ramp.

  • There's an ornate spiral design.

  • We hired one of the greatest

  • local architects

  • in the tri-state area.

  • That was about $100k.

  • How do they get up ramp?

  • I don't know.

  • The way up the ramp is a little bit harder than the way down.

  • Look at this woman.

  • -Stupid. -So stupid.

  • You wasted all their money.

  • Oh, the Legacy Circle, you are excited.

  • -[ Chuckles ] -Yep.

  • Our goal is to have all the elderly supporters...

  • -Yep. -...make a lasting commitment

  • to the Algonquin by making a planned gift

  • for when they expire.

  • Yep. A possible donor that we've identified

  • is Barbara Kellegry...

  • -Look at Sal. -...who's currently

  • 98 years old.

  • She was recently diagnosed

  • with pneumonia

  • and is in hospice.

  • We've reached out, and we're waiting on word back.

  • Barbs will do the right thing.

  • Sal: Here's what we're doing, guys.

  • We're spending money to get money.

  • Yeah. This is the new deal with the partner theaters.

  • We've teamed up with

  • a multi-level marketing company

  • to help theaters across the region

  • because just helping us is gonna help everybody else, right?

  • So we give unsold tickets to other theaters,

  • and then the tickets are sold from our theater

  • to other theaters as part

  • of a two-for-one deal.

  • We Googled "pyramid scheme" and went with that.

  • Don't be scared by the shape.

  • This is just an upside-down triangle.
