CENTER STAGE THEATERt presents
SAVORY & SWEET: It All Begins at Center Stage
An artistic and edible feast pairing exemplary Center Stage performances, carefully selected from the year’s best work, with great food and libations at the lovely home of Pamela Vander Heide
Featuring performances by The Adderley School for Performing Arts, The Dance Network, Proboscis Theater Company, and Sue Turner-Cray
Imagine a space where artists, young and old, experienced and novice, can create and share their work with their community…a space where it is safe to experiment and dare the boundaries of your talent because a seasoned, professional staff is there to support and encourage you…a space where the quality exceeds the costs, where financial support is available to the enterprising newcomer, so that art can still find its way. This is not a dream. This space is Center Stage.
Born nearly 25 years ago in a unique collaboration of business, city government, and the community, Center Stage owes its existence, and continuous improvement, to the generosity of our supporters. Please join us at our annual fundraiser, Savory and Sweet: It All Begins at Center Stage on Sunday May 3, at the lovely home of Pamela Vander Hiede, where you will get a delicious taste of good food and some of the sweetest and savoriest moments from our last season….

Proboscis Theater Company sharing a bit of La La La Strada, a new play that recently concluded its Center Stage run with rave reviews. “It may be worth seeing La La La Strada more than once to fully appreciate the extent of its artistry. The cumulative impact of the ensemble is quite seamless; together the actors weave a total—and totally bizarre—world.” —Charles Donelan, Santa Barbara Independent
With your help, we hope to raise $15,000 toward capital improvements for the theater and to sustain our Rental Subsidy Fund.
Here is what our performers are saying:
“You’re the only game in town and thank goodness for you.”
“Love the staff—everyone is very helpful and supportive.”
“Ummmmmm…You folks ROCK!!!!”
Together, we will keep Center Stage alive and thriving, so that every aspiring artist in Santa Barbara can know that there is space to realize their dreams.
