There was plenty of fun to be had with live music, face painting, a photo booth and a pre-show dinner by Michael’s On East. After dinner, guests continued on to the performance, where Disney’s The Lion King was brought to life on stage. Proceeds will help support the Van Wezel’s Schooltime Performance Program, community outreach and special needs of the Hall.
