The Asolo Repertory Theatre supporters who were lucky enough to snag a spot at the second Starry Night Dinner on Jan. 30. Were in for a special treat.
Inspired by the new production “Born Yesterday,” which takes place in a penthouse, the dinner was held at the luxurious La Bellasara penthouse, owned by Koni and Cary Findlay. Tickets sold out quickly, and after a brief walk through the residence, it’s clear why. After walking under a sea of color-changing stars the first thing guests saw were two elegant tables that seemed to go on forever. The tables were covered in a sparkling emerald tablecloth, gold silverware and floral centerpieces in various warm pastel colors.
Before dinner, guests were treated to cocktails and hors d’oeuvres a couple floors below at the home of George and Judith Hofmann.
