David Selby at Ford's Theatre Society Gala

[MsCriseyde]

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:

All very nice.

I hope Selby got to meet Kareem.

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.

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.
