Heart of America Shakespeare Festival – Romantic Revels
Guests didn’t have to ask, “Where fore art thou?” They knew – the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza was the site for Romantic Revels. The benefit for the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival was held on February 17th. Renana and Michael Abrams were the honorary chairmen, and Dr. Roopa Bansal was honored as Shakespeare’s Muse. Among the pleasures of the evening were a specialty martini and cocktail hour, complete with a silent auction, followed by a scrumptious dinner and then dancing to the music of KOKOMO. The delightful Patrons’ Party was hosted by Barbara and Bob Bloch.
