The Florida Theatre’s annual major fundraiser paid homage to the nightclubbing and disco music era of the Seventies, drawing hundreds to the benefit — called the event of the year by Numa Saisselin, president of the Florida Theatre Performing Arts Center. The May 19 benefit opened with a jazz funk trio playing during the cocktail hour. After dinner, guests enjoyed a tribute concert to Donna Summer, Barry Manilow and Elton John, then the curtain rose for disco dancing to the tunes of the Boogie Freaks.
