The evening will conclude with a premiere auction of exclusive items, led by auctioneer Greg Sherwood from KQED, including: a week-long getaway to Umbria, a private day of sailing on the San Francisco Bay, a theater excursion to Ashland and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and one-of-a-kind items from the company’s West Coast Premiere of Betrayed, signed by the playwright, New Yorker journalist George Packer. Funds raised at the gala event will support Aurora Theatre Company’s outstanding live performances, innovative education program, and the Global Age Project new works program.
