PETER Cullen has just turned 70, but he has the energy that could well be the envy of a 17-year-old, and the joy that goes with youth.

To celebrate, Peter and his lovely wife Hermie tossed a party at their home in North Town. Guests came in summery togs, led to the terrace adjoining a garden and a cascading waterfall that cooled the sultry evening.

Some followed Peter for a tour of the well appointed house constructed as a labor of infinite love. Everyone loved the cellar, specaious enough for Peter and Hermie to hold dinner parties there. The carved table is magnificent.

The company was splendid, the food terrific, and drinks flowed all night.

It was a great party. Though gifts were declined by the celebrant he got heaps of good wishes for more bithdays to come, and in as happy camaraderie as this occasion. Cheers!

Reminder for June 10 and 11 at 6 p.m., at Onstage, Ayala Cinema 1 of the Ayala Center Cebu Balletcenter presents “Summer Spectacular 2016–Classical Breeze and a Classy Twist.”

It culminates the summer dance classes held by the studio, under the tutelage of co-artistic directors Greg Aaron and Nicolas Pacaña.

Act I features the children’s recital, while Act II is for the professional and semi-professional. Highlights, specially of classic dance, were featured in this column a week ago.
