“Broadway Under the Stars” at Jack London State Historic Park

“Broadway Under the Stars” at Jack London State Historic Park in Sonoma is fast becoming a “must do” summer entertainment event in the Bay Area—truly a new addition to what defines the Sonoma Wine Country experience. 

2017 will be the 6th season of Broadway artists performing in the 150 year-old Winery Ruins at Jack London Park--these musical concerts capping off a few hours of festivities featuring picnics, wineries pouring, food trucks in a spectacular setting and then Broadway stars competing with the night time constellations as dusk becomes starlight.

The other aspect to this story is that this theater company has helped save Jack London State Park from closure—the first concert occurred just as the Park was about to close and the money raised helped keep it open. 

Then, Transcendence Theatre Company--now a resident Northern California arts organization, set a stake in that ground, entered into an innovative partnership to continue the shows each summer and contribute to the Park’s operation. Since 2011 81,000 people have attended and the tickets have raised $267,000 for the Park.

They are bringing a “Best of Broadway Under the Stars” to the Marin Center March 18 and 19. 

The core artist company is comprised of Broadway performers who have relocated to the North Bay to build this company. And every summer, 60 Broadway performers take time from their shows to come to the North Bay to participate—Transcendence Theatre Company is gaining momentum among New York artists as much as it is among Bay Area audience.
