JOFFREY CELEBRATION

Inspired by the Joffrey’s season-closing production, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the Joffrey Celebration transported guests through the looking glass, where time bends, couture reigns, and nothing is quite as it seems. Entering through a keyhole-shaped portal, partygoers followed the White Rabbit into a world turned upside down. The revelry began with honoree and Board Chair Anne Kaplan at the turntables, spinning Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra as the Company Artists made their grand entrance. Living Frames, a Parisian Caterpillar, Swinging Tulips, Lampshade Gals, and a blind portrait station added to the entrancement. $3 million was raised in support of Joffrey for All. joffrey.org
