Post by: MsCriseyde on May 20, 2011, 08:07:26 PM

David Selby is among those appearing at the Ford's Theatre Society's Annual Gala to be held June 5. This is an invitation-only event and is not open to the general public, but you may want to keep your eyes open for any media coverage. Here's the press release:

It isn't mentioned here, but there's also a White House reception for the participants.  [ghost_cool]

Most likely, he met all the participants because the weekend involved a reception a the Capitol, rehearsals, a White House reception prior to the event, and a dinner following the gala.  [ghost_wink]

There should be another batch of images from the weekend from the photographer(s) hired by Ford's Theatre. They've not been posted yet, but they will be from inside the event.
