Guests at the Guthrie's "Tonight, Tonight!" gala were ushered into the downtown Minneapolis theater, which had been transformed into the concrete jungle of midcentury Manhattan. The "West Side Story"-themed cocktail party, dinner and DJ'd dance took attendees into the heart of the story, with street dancers and songs from the much loved musical. The annual event funds the Guthrie's education and community enhancement programs. The Guthrie offers performances of "West Side Story" through Aug. 26.
