“It is so, so vital during these unprecedented times that there are people like her who give back to an art form that is so deeply rooted in humanity.” “I can’t thank Marleen enough for this gift,” said Sean Patrick Gibbons, who performed in such Studio One productions as The Diary of Anne Frank, The Government Inspector and the Last Days of Judas Iscariot, among others. That drew a warm note of gratitude from an MFA alumnus who graduated that year. In May 2018, she established the Marleen Forkas Festival Repertory Theatre Endowed Graduate Fellowships in support of master of fine arts in theatre graduate students. She and her late husband, Harold, were benefactors of the university for more than 20 years. This latest donation continues to build Forkas’ legacy across FAU’s Boca Raton campus. “Her generosity has been instrumental in helping the arts and our students - advocating for the importance of the arts for today and future generations, creating the Forkas Fellowship for Summer Repertory Theatre to help support our students in their summer semesters, and most recently the generous naming gift to help ensure that our program continues to bring live theater to the community and quality education to students for years to come.” “Marleen has been a benefactor of the arts and a friend to many of our students and faculty in the program for several years,” said Tom Shorrock, chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance at FAU. The center is temporarily closed and the schedule of productions suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The theater serves as a production and performance training venue for students, and public events are also held there throughout the year. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters announced earlier this month that it had received a $1.125 million gift from benefactor Marleen Forkas to name the university’s Studio One Theatre after the woman often seen seated in the front row during shows.
