Imagine sitting across the table from hunky actor Trevor Donovan or being able to ask Kristin Booth what it was like to work with Ryan Reynolds in the movie “Foolproof.” There’s a good chance you can if you attend “RomaDrama Live” at the Palm Beach County Convention Center June 24-26.
The event, which got its start last year in Franklin, Tenn. is the brainchild of Gabrielle Graf Palmer and Sara Lunsford, best friends for 25 years. The two realized there was a pent-up demand for fans of those mushy love stories on Lifetime, The Hallmark Channel and Netflix and they decided to fill it.

“It was born from being fans ourselves and wanting to bring these opportunities to people like us in an intimate and fan-oriented environment,” says Graf Palmer, who previously worked as an entertainment and sports sponsorship executive. She describes Lunsford as “one of the most amazing businesspeople I ever met.”
The first event last July was such a success, they decided to take it on the road.
“We look for special places that have a culture and aesthetic. South Florida is special unto itself,” says Graf Palmer. “The Palm Beach Convention center checked all of the boxes.”
Ticket holders not only will get to interact with their favorite celebrity, but they will also get to ask questions from authors, screenwriters and producers.
What makes “RomaDrama Live” resonate with so many? “It provides an escape. They are kind, peaceful, loving movies that are a respite from everyday life,” says Graf Palmer.
