On Thursday, May 19, Kansas City Ballet’s board of directors, top donors, dancers, and staff attended the annual end of season party. This time the event was held at Roth Living on the Plaza in their state-of-the-art showroom and kitchen. A wall of TVs was the perfect way to display video clips from the season that made attendees feel as if they were onstage with the dancers. KC Ballet Board President Claire Brand welcomed the group and led the applause for an amazing season. Executive Director Jeffrey Bentley gave the crowd food for thought regarding next year’s fundraising goals. And Artistic Director Devon Carney whet their appetite for all the delights they will experience as audience members for the 2016-2017 season of performances at the Kauffman Center. Music Director Ramona Pansegrau’s 10th anniversary was celebrated as were the accomplishments of retiring dancers Logan Pachciarz, Ryan Joliecoeur-Nye and Geoffrey Kropp. Thank you to Cindy St. John from Roth Living, one of our newest corporate sponsors, for graciously hosting such a generous event. Thank you also to Rivas Photography.
