he Lensic stage became a sparkling enchanted forest—a luminous full moon floating high above the trees—at the nonprofit performing arts center’s fifth annual fundraising evening, Dinner Onstage at The Lensic: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Nearly 200 guests attended the June 24th gala, many dressed in whimsical costumes inspired by Shakespeare’s fantastic comedy. Guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, specialty cocktails, dinner and a performance by aerialists from Wise Fool New Mexico. Later, a live auction featured adventures in exotic locales from Bali to Iceland and Tuscany. “The evening was a smashing success,” said gala chair and Lensic board member Lisa Barker. “Our sponsors and guests gave generously.” All proceeds support The Lensic and its performance, community, and education programs, which touch the lives of more than 14,000 students each year.
