Pinewold Manor transforms for a day

The Shreveport Little Theatre hosted an exclusive Downton Abbeythemed cocktail party at the home of Dr. Sherry Kerr on Oct. 28. A historic home on Fairfield Avenue known as Pinewold Manor was the perfect setting for the event, where local actors played the parts of valets and footmen, just like on the TV show. “Lady Rose’s Cosmos” were served, as was an assortment of hors d’oeuvres. A raffle of exciting Downton Abbey-themed baskets, like Lord Grantham’s Bourbon Basket, Lady Cora’s Boudoir Basket, and Have Tea with Alice, were up for grabs. The following evening, a five-course meal was served to 30 guests in the main house.
