Steppenwolf Theatre Company hosted an impressive gala on May 11 at the Bridgeport Art Center, 1200 West 35th Street. Beginning at 6:30 p.m. guests were treated to an experience to highlight the 48 years of entertainment from the iconic troupe.
A steampunk aesthetic greeted ticket holders as they entered the establishment at the step and repeat in the front vestibule. Then a short ride on a large freight elevator carried them to the next floor underneath hanging pocket watches and a chandelier. “One, two, three, one, two, three, drink” from the Sia track summed up the cocktail hour and appetizers were passed by the bustling staff. An open bar had the black tie and evening gown attendees reveling in the upscale environment with dynamic, wraparound views of the city.
