Ashley Taylor Bronczek, one of Washington’s social stars, decided to throw a party after the Washington Ballet’s online fundraiser, which she co-chaired. To celebrate the occasion, she hosted a catered dinner for a couple dozen friends in the backyard of her Spring Valley home. And so we make the calculation to attend or skip drinks on the patio, a backyard barbecue, a socially distanced birthday party. The ballet’s virtual gala gave supporters a way to come together for a shared experience in a safe format. “It was very well intentioned,” says Powell, who was shooting the party for Washington Life magazine.
