Rivers Cuomo and the Band Weezer Step Up to Support Shakespeare Orange County
Rivers Cuomo, front man of the band Weezer, is known for his fondness for Shakespeare's plays. This year, he donated 4 prime seating concert tickets and a guitar signed by the band to Shakespeare Orange County ("SOC"), which is holding a sweepstakes drawing to raise money for the 2017 season.
SOC has put together a prize package they hope will attract Weezer fans around the globe: one lucky winner will receive not only the signed guitar and 4 concert tickets, but also airfare and lodging for 4 to the concert city. Entries to the contest are available for purchase at this website: https://shakespeareoc.tapkat.org/winaweezervipconcertpackage
"Thanks to Weezer's generous contribution, we anticipate that we'll be able to reach a wide base of music fans and raise significant funds for the summer 2017 season. Whether they realize it or not, when Weezer fans enter the drawing, they're making a donation for a great cause - supporting the arts in Orange County. It's a win-win situation," states John Walcutt, Artistic Director of SOC.
The company hopes to attract significant funds with the drawing, which they will use to support their 2017 season and beyond.
The Weezer Concert Experience drawing is open from November 15, 2016 thru July 15, 2017. Entries are available for purchase here: https://shakespeareoc.tapkat.org/winaweezervipconcertpackage.
