On March 11, the United Arts Council presented its Big Night In for the Arts, a fundraising initiative broadcast live on WRAL-TV. The superstar line-up included actress and Raleigh native Ariana DeBose; country music artist Scotty McCreery, originally from Garner; Branford Marsalis, the renowned Durham-based saxophonist; actor and playwright Mike Wiley, based in Chatham County; and Chapel Hill folk duo Mandolin Orange. Mitchell-Casteel developed a creative pick-up menu for guests to enjoy while watching the show.
