Theater Lovers Fete

On February 11, 2011, the Wilma Theater honored former governor Ed Rendell with the Wilma Star Award at the Theater Lovers Fête, held at the Ormandy Ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel. Incorporating sultry and sophisticated Parisian flair, the actors paid homage to the world-renowned Moulin Rouge. The evening began with a cocktail reception, followed by a unique cabaret performance by The Bearded Ladies, an awards presentation, and dancing to the soulful sounds of LeRoy Hawks and the Hypnotics. Guests experienced a night of revelry accompanied by a grand silent auction, casino game tables, a sumptuous dessert buffet, and an aphrodisiac-inspired carte du jour. Photography by Jauhien Sasnou
