Attendees were transported to Rio de Janiero as they were greeted by dynamic street performers, live music, and interactive gaming booths. A decadent VIP area raised the temperature to sultry South American heights with burlesque performances by Minette Magnifique. The evening concluded with a silent auction to support Actor’s Express.
