The Asolo Repertory Theatre celebrated its year of the diamonds with a celebratory dinner Nov. 26.
The 60th Anniversary Dinner was hosted at The Westin Sarasota, with eleven honorees, all of whom were involved with the Asolo Rep in the '60s when the company began.Â
To celebrate the organization's six-decade history, throwback photos of every honoree during their time with the company, along with several past costumes, were on display.Â
Once guests were escorted into the ballroom after cocktail hour, they sat for dinner and an awards presentation.
Honorees Sharon Spelman, John M. Wilson, Steve Hogan, Barbara Redmond, Vic Meyrich, Stephanie Moss, Marian Wallace, Howard Millman, Bob Naismith and Eberle Thomas
Old photos of the honorees during their time with Asolo Rep adorned the room.
Each guest was given a Tiffany-blue box with a cup inside.
This is Asolo Repertory Theatre's diamond anniversary season.
There were 150 guests at the dinner.
This dress, doubling as decor, is a costume from the company's 2008-2009 season.
Different dresses and costumes from the past years were on display in the hallway of The Westin Sarasota.
