Weird question, jose - Is it remotely possible that there was yet another party for the donors that all that reported food was being made for? or was that food just a figment of someone's imagination?
DR FJL - Nope. The donors party was the reception immediately following the performance: open bar and desserts. I guess "we" all had figured that some "real food" would be available - provided - later to the cast and crew. "We" did see trays of food from CostCo sitting on the staff kitchen counter, so... But those trays turned out to be filled pita chips, vegetables, hummus and cookies. -Better than nothing. In the end, no one was truly disappointed or felt cheated. And most of us were just tired anyway after such a long week.
However, there was plenty o' food in the greenroom before the show. Lots of opening night goodies that various people brought in: candy, brownies, pies, a bushel of just-picked vine-ripened peaches(!).
