Kansas City Ballet – 57th Season Launch Party
The Kansas City Ballet held its annual Season Launch Party on October 10th. Artistic Director Devon Carney and Executive Director Jeffrey J. Bentley welcomed guests to the fabulous 57th season. Members of the Ballet’s Patrons Society enjoyed a quirky but elegant event reflective of the artistic themes of the season. Following the fete, patrons enjoyed the opening night of Alice (in wonderland) at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
