Playhouse honors Ed Stern 2012

More than 400 donors who gave to the Edward Stern Endowment for Artistic Excellence attended a party to honor the legacy of Playhouse in the Park’s Producing Artistic Director Ed Stern. The event was chaired by Ronna Willis. Artists from all over the country came to the party to surprise Stern, who is retiring. Raul Esparza performed a song from Tony Award-winning “Company.” Pamela Myers and Thom Sesma added some flavor of London by reprising songs from “Sweeney Todd.” Local actress Dale Hodges performed an original song called “Big Bad Ed.” Photos by Phil Groshong
