June Christensen and Willie and Linda Chiang (pictured, from left) gathered at The Wortham Theater to celebrate The Society for the Performing Arts 50th anniversary gala. The evening raised $600,000 for arts and education programs. Supporters mingled over appetizers and cocktails to toast the last five decades. They included co-chairs Stephany Olsen LeGrand and Curt Karges, Janet and Bill Swanstrom, and honorary chairs Katherine and Paul Murphy and Sharon and Tim Taylor. The gala honored Marc and Brenda Watts for their dedication to SPA and contributions to the arts community in Houston.
