KCRep – 2019 Gala “The Cast Party”
The Cast Party, KCRep’s 2019 Gala, was held on May 10th at The Abbott. Ellen and Irv Hockaday were honored with the inaugural Mac Award, named for KC Rep’s founder Dr. Patricia McIlrath, for their longtime support and advocacy of KC Rep and the arts in Our Town. Guests enjoyed a performance by Broadway’s Shoshana Bean, who stole away from her starring role in Waitress for this one-night-only event.
