GET READY for an evening of glam. Citadel Theater of Lake Forest’s 8th annual gala, “An Evening at the Moulin Rouge,” transforms the fabulous David Adler estate of Adrian and Nancy Smith for a night to remember. The event promises to transport you to an iconic time and place, filled with special surprises and delights around every corner of this magical property. Guests will be entertained throughout the event from arrival at the estate’s grand entrance to meandering through the immaculate grounds and then under the glorious formal dinner tent. Expect activities to culminate poolside late into the night, when guests are known to jump in wearing their gowns and tuxedos!

Funds raised will benefit the Citadel Theatre’s ongoing productions and educational outreach programs for children and underserved communities. For more information visit citadeltheatre.org/gala.
