Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival hasn't added a story.
We need your help!
WHO WE ARE
For the last 8 years, the Santa Clarita Festival has presented the LA SummerFEST, an eclectic, free summer cultural festival of music, theatre, and community events. The festival includes the free Shakespeare in the Park performances (this year’s production is OTHELLO), the Blues FEST in cooperation with the SCV Blues Society, JAZZ at Rivendale, a Broadway review concert, a Singer Songwriter Concert, and an evening of Praise music with local churches. The free festival reaches thousands of audience members with free performances and events, and brings together hundreds of performers, musicians, and technical professionals that make it possible.
WHAT WE DO
Presented each year in Towsly Canyon, we bring in staging, lights, sound, porta-potties and power for the five weeks of the festival. This is the 8th year for the free summer festival, and the Shakespeare in the Park is a tradition in our community the reaches back nearly 30 years.
WHY WE NEED YOUR ASSITANCE
We need your help! We usually cover our expanses through pass the hat donations at the performances. This year we received a 75% increase to our expenses for power, audience facilities, and equipment rentals. The increase is more than $7,500, almost twice our festival budget. While we expected and planned for an increase each year, these increases are more than expected and much more than we can cover with pass the hat donations.
WHERE WILL MY SUPPORT GO?
Your support will go directly to the increased physical costs for the festival: Power, staging, port-potties, and fencing. It isn’t glamourous, but these are essential costs for the festival, and our largest costs.
What you Receive
When you support us, you will the undying gratitude and thanks of the THOUSANDS of people that attend the festival. Everyone that adds their support will be included on our mailing list amd receive information about auditions, performances, and special events. In addition you will receive:
