General Manager InterContinental MiamiActors’ Playhouse is grateful for twenty years of warm friendship and generous support of InterContinental Miami. It is a special pleasure to acknowledge this outstanding company by honoring General Manager Robert Hill at our 25th Reach for the Stars Gala Auction. Robert and Breda Hill have truly engaged themselves in our Miami-Dade culture and have become very special friends of the theatre. Through the many years of support from InterContinental Miami, Actors’ Playhouse has been able to provide experiences that enrich the lives of both residents and tourists. We also share gratitude and appreciation with Elizabeth Perez, who over the years has helped us unite with the many managers who are part of the wonderful InterContinental organization. Thank you Robert Hill, and thank you InterContinental Miami for being a valuable part of our “Miracle!”
