The Excellence in Dining Program Fund — a gift of Interlochen Trustee Sonja Hoel Perkins and husband Jonathan, who were inspired to give as Camp and Academy parents — has enabled Interlochen to hire a new executive chef, while also improving meal variety and quality, the frequency of special dining events, and dining hall furnishings. Fellow Academy parents Marilyn Perlman and Harry Epstein also supported new food production equipment and culinary training for Dining Services staff. Next to Kresge, an extensive renovation of an existing storage facility, funded by the Mallory Foundation as well as by a gift from Interlochen Trustee Gregg Latterman and wife Susan, is creating Mallory Cottage , which will serve as a modern, welcoming space for campus guests on the days of their performances here. Beyond those summer performances, Mallory Cottage will be available to rent, providing income that will supplement our financial aid budget. A renovation of our storied Kresge Auditorium to upgrade and modernize its green rooms, making them places our visiting artists will enjoy and remember so they become ambassadors for the artist experience here, will be completed in time for summer 2025. This has been made possible through a gift from alumna Cate Caplin (IAC/NMC 69-71, IAC Fac 18-19), a professional dancer and choreographer, arts educator, and frequent guest artist at both Camp and Academy. At the same time, we’re installing a lift for efficient movement of production equipment from newly expanded storage space to the stage and back again.
