SOCIAL BUZZ Sleeping Beauty Soiree SAINT LOUIS BALLET PHOTOS BY DIANE ANDERSON T he Touhill Performing Arts Center was transformed into a fairy-tale setting for Saint Louis Ballet’s recent Sleeping Beauty Soiree. Following a cocktail reception in the promenade lobby, guests were escorted into the dining room, which was reminiscent of a fantasy land decked in swaths of pink and silver, and crystal clear chairs. A highlight of the evening was an excerpt from “The Sleeping Beauty,” performed by the company’s dancers. Ken Stuckenschneider and Patricia Whiteside served as co-chairs. 2 4 1 3 5 6 7 96 GAZELLE STL 1. Sarah Hunkins, Patrick Nangle 2. Sean & Laurie Lock, Sharon & Cliff Leve 3.
