Guys jus' wanna have fun.

What: Catastrophic Theatre‘s “Toga! Toga! Toga!” bash

Where: Rec Room

PC Moment: Was there a white sheet left at Target? The night was evenly divided between a raucous, Animal House style frat party, complete with live music from Hotpocket, and a Dionysion delight with scantily-clad models from Neal Hamil Agency fanning costumed guests, pouring wine and feeding them grapes.

Togas and laurel wreaths reigned supreme at the gathering chaired by Milton Townsend, Jeff Shell and Dana Kantalis. It was as the chairs had hoped “a veritable orgy of fun.”

Who: Catastrophic Theatre board president Caroline Starry, Katharine Barthelme, Ernie Manouse, Dr. Roland Maldonado, James Glassman, Susanna Kise, Enid Sanchez, Brad Moore, Jenny and Mark Johnson, Cabe Nowlen, Cali Alvarado Pettigrew and Peter Pettigrew, James Phelan and Heather Yanak and Debbie Elias.
