Smart Dallas theater fans spotlight sexy era for fundraising affair

What: WaterTower Theatre Spotlight Gala 2015

Where: InterContinental Dallas

The 411: WaterTower supporters embraced the “Madmen Music & Martinis” theme for its annual gala, this time held at the Intercontinental hotel’s ’60s-inspired Malachite Room. Event chair April Bosworth and producing artistic director Terry Martin welcomed an enthusiastic crowd for a night of dancing, dining and doting on the organization. They dined on a fine meal and bid on some covetable auction items before heading to the dance floor, where Hunter Sullivan and his band serenaded them with renditions of popular tunes by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Sammy Davis Jr. This annual event raises funds for WaterTower Theatre’s artistic and education programs.
