2019 Broadway Ball
The Board of Trustees of the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa held its annual fundraising event with
entertainment by the cast from the hit Broadway musical Disney’s Aladdin and the Dunedin-based band, Kafkasso. Caroline and
Jeff Sikorske co-chaired the 2019 Broadway Ball planning committee. This year’s Aladdin theme was in honor of the show that will
be at the theater from December 19th through January 5th as part of the 2019-2020 season’s seven-show Broadway series at the
Straz. The Broadway Ball was a glorious evening of elegance and fun.
