**BRILLIANTLY
CREATIVE ** MASTERFUL ** ONCE AGAIN TALENT SOARS
AT THE LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE'S GALA OF:
**PETER & WENDY**
Guests for
the La Jolla Playhouse's Gala 2002 were invited
to go "Above the Stars" to Neverland
and explore the fantasy of Peter Pan and the
fab creativeness of Chairperson Debby Jacobs.
Guests dressed
in celestial attire entered Gala grounds to
a strarry night of entertainment, dining and
dancing.
A dinner
buffet was designed by Jeanne Jones and Amy
Butterfield along with Hyatt Regency La Jolla.
Among the temptaions were Stilton cheese &
pear vichyssoise, cold poached salmon with chilled
dill dressing, apricot glazed chicken, New York
Strip Steak with Port demi-sauce, horseradish
mashed potatoes and penne pasta with broccoli,
lemon & garlic. To put it lightly dinner
was great!
Then off
to a magical evening of Peter & Wendy. The
Japanese puppetry, incredible staging, Irish
song and briliant actors transported guests
to magical childhood fantasy.
I
can only say brilliant about this production.
You simply have to go see it!
The cast
will wow you. Karen Kandel spellbound everyone.
So did the rest of the cast among whom are Sam
Hack, Sarah Provost, Lute Breuer, singer Lisa
Moscatiello, Jane Catherine Shaw, Basil Twist,
Walter Stark, Jenny Subjack, Jessica Chandlee
Smith and more.
Among the
Cast of San Diego supporters making this and
other productions happen are the Dr. Seuss Foundation,
the James S. Copley Foundation, La Jolla Playhouse
Center Stage Club, Sempra Energy, Joel and Rosanne
Holliday Family Foundaiton, Charmaine and Maurice
Kaplan and Joan and Irwin Jacobs.
After the
show the gala went wild. Dancing to the Wayne
Foster Orchestra kept the dance floor full and
desserts of Peter & Wendy cake, assorted
petite cookies and and ice cream sundae bar.
Guests of
this Neverland evening under the stars never
wanted it to end. But end it did as Tinkerbells
and Peter Pans went home to tell the tale again
and again.
