New Canon Theatre Co. Anniversary Celebration & Fundraiser at Stanton Center

Join New Canon Theatre Co. for a special evening celebrating five seasons of bold, classically-rooted storytelling on the Monterey Peninsula--and help us launch the next five!

This fundraising event is more than a party. It's a chance to gather with fellow patrons, artists, and friends of the company in a relaxed, festive setting; to look back at what we've built together; and to invest in the future of professional theatre in our community.

Family Wedding by Brian Gene White:

Weddings bring out the worst in people. One week after the 2024 election, Erin and Doug return to Indiana for a wedding and immediately regret it. During family photos, comments are made and all hell breaks lose, unleashing old grudges, hilarious insults, and new violence. Family knows how to push your buttons because they installed them.
