Here's your chance to have an intimate dinner with Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and at the same time give money to a worthy cause. In the 5th annual online auction Playwrights Horizons (an award-winning not-for-profit off Broadway theater) is offering up this unique opportunity to support the theater's annual season of six plays & musicals, year-round play & musical theater development programs, audience development activities, a resident internship program, the Playwrights Horizons Theater School at NYU, and Ticket Central, a low-cost box office service available to the entire performing arts community.

Bidding started this morning at 8am and runs through May 18th at 8pm EDT. It's sounds like an amazing opportunity to spend some time with Kate. Unfortunately though, it won't be in the Captain's dinning room. Yes, we know... Neelix converted the Captain's dinning room into the mess hall kitchen. Remember, we're actual Voyager fans... Check out more details below.

Auction Details:

You may know Kate Mulgrew by the name Captain Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager, the stereotype-defying captain of the USS Voyager. Reed Birney pops up all over town in roles that are as diverse as the planets in the solar system - most recently seen in PH's A Small Fire. You and a guest will join these two Obie Award Winning actors for dinner at Chez Josephine and then see The Shaggs at Playwrights Horizons. Both Ms. Mulgrew and Mr. Birney have enjoyed successful and varied careers onstage and on screen, and you will have the unique opportunity to hear their stories in person. The fascinating story of The Shaggs will provide plenty of fodder for discussion, but we doubt you'll need help keeping the conversation flowing with company that is so out-of-this-world!
