Shakespeare's Birthday Bash - SPARC's Annual Fundraiser
Shakespeare’s Birthday Bash – A Fundraiser for SPARC Theater
📅 Thursday, April 23, 2026 | 🕕 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 3 Steves Winery, Livermore, CA
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the arts at Shakespeare’s Birthday Bash! Set against the beautiful backdrop of 3 Steves Winery, this lively fundraiser for SPARC Theater features live entertainment, great food, fine wine, and exciting opportunities to support local theater.
Your ticket includes one wine voucher (for guests 21 and over; valid for select wines as determined by 3 Steves Winery), with plenty of ways to jump into the festivities throughout the night.
🎉 Event Activities
🍷 Wine Pull
$25 per pull. Choose a rubber duck (yes—you get to keep it!), and discover your prize based on the color sticker on the bottom. Each duck corresponds to a mystery bottle of wine—some valued well above the purchase price. Everyone wins!
🛍️ Silent Auction
Browse and bid on 7 thoughtfully assembled packages, featuring a wide range of interests and experiences. All items are generously donated by local businesses and Tri-Valley favorites.
🍰 Live Dessert Auction
Each table becomes a team! Tables will combine their bids, and the highest-bidding table gets first pick of their dessert, followed by the next highest, and so on. Desserts are donated by beloved local bakeries from around the Tri-Valley—sweet treats for a great cause.
💛 Raise the Paddle
The heart of the evening. Join fellow SPARC supporters in raising your paddle to directly support SPARC’s programs and help ensure live theater continues to thrive in our community.
🎭 The Entertainment
Enjoy a variety of performances throughout the evening, including:
Live jazz music by East Bay Jazz, setting the mood during part of the event
A live improv demonstration hosted by Mark Duncanson, full of quick wit and spontaneous fun
An exciting abridged 5-minute Hamlet with Doyle Ott
🌮 The Food
