100 years of Miller Outdoor Theatre

It was a celebration 100 years in the making. Jessica Olmos, Miriam Meyers, and LT Cameron joined more than 200 guests gathered at River Oaks Country Club for Les Grandes Dames gala to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Miller Outdoor Theatre. Event co-chairs Danny and Robin Klaes, David and Christine Underwood, June Deadrick put together a memorable evening that honored longtime Miller Theatre Advisory Board managing director Cissy Segall Davis who will retire at the end of the year. After enjoying a seated dinner with music from the Jazz Houston Youth Orchestra Quintet, guests had a front-row seat to a conversation between featured guest Rita Moreno and Houston Public Media’s Ernie Manouse. Moreno, the 91-year-old EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) award-winning actress, told stories about performing on Broadway, her movie career including starring in 80 for Brady, and her time on the children’s classic television show The Electric Company.
