First I want to thank my faithful readers for checking in each day; sorry for the delay, I just got new carpeting and paint and the computer has been down. That hasn’t stopped me from attending a few events. On Monday Philadelphia rolled out the red carpet, for a huge event with the opening of the Suzanne Roberts Theatre Gala.

Here is Suzanne and Ralph Roberts (I thought it would be rude for me to ask him to subsidize my Comcast Cable bill, but I should have thanked him for adding William Penn to the top of the new Comcast Building)

Suzanne is grateful to him too

First Lady Midge, not one for posing, she’s a dignified judge. She looks terrific. No sign of the gov, I guess he was still nursing the Eagles loss from Sunday

Hmm guess I could have photo shopped this lighter, the Channel 3 crew, Larry, Alycia and Kathy Orr
The Plays and Players Company crew, Ira Lubert (left), Sara Garonzik, the theater company’s producing artistic director, and Jerry Riesenbach, president of the company’s board.

Philly is styling it on the red carpet

Many of Philadelphia’s Phasionable of the Social Set made an appearance at the Gala. (Why doesn’t Philly have a social calendar like NYC)

And then the party continued inside (I find that the Red Carpet events in Philly, much nicer to the paparazzi’s than NYC. This week alone I have been fed twice, given gift bags and at this event had a chance to see the tribute show to Terrence McNally (on right).

Thank you Philadelphia, I’m glad I moved back. And thanks to Debbie and crew at the Gala. Tomorrow I am going to NYC for a few events, so I will have to continue Monday with the shots from the cocktail party, show and after party.
Looking forward to Nathan Lane and Richard Thomas
