Although the performances of the Shakespeare are free, the series is expensive to produce: staging, scenery, costumes, props, designers, directors, programs and restrooms. In order to raise the funds for the production, the SCSF is inviting patrons for a special “Dinner With Henry,” a fundraising dinner and preview of the production.
“It is a wonderful opportunity to meet the director, cast, designers and crew, all of which make it the production possible,” says David Stears, the company’s executive director. “It is also a celebration for the opening of the summer season and a way for us to thank our supporters.”
“Dinner With Henry” is Friday, July 12, beginning at 6:30 p.m.. Tickets are $50 per person, and include: Dinner provided by Outback Steakhouse, with wine, dessert and a exclusive performance of Henry IV part I.
