Heart of America Shakespeare Festival – Romantic Revels
Heart of America Shakespeare Festival’s Romantic Revels was held on February 11th at the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza. Drs. Susan and Charles Porter were the honorary chairmen. Linda Word was honored with the Founder’s Award. Guests enjoyed cocktails, a gourmet dinner, a silent auction, and dancing. For a special treat, HASF actors and board members recreated scenes from The Tempest – including a bit of magic! Kelly and Joe Privitera hosted the Patrons’ Party at their beautiful Briarcliff home. The Festival will produce its 31st season in Southmoreland Park this summer.
