Kansas City Ballet – The Bolender Society Cocktail Reception
May 24th was the date for The Bolender Society of Kansas City Ballet’s cocktail reception to celebrate the end of a wonderful performance season. The festive event was held at the offices of Lathrop Gage. Guests reminisced about Kansas City Ballet’s 2018-2019 season, which featured the world premiere of Septime Weber’s The Wizard of Oz, Val Caniparoli’s Lady of the Camellias, and the outstanding closing performance, Tharp/Parsons/Forsythe.
