Free Center Stage Reception

Description

A reception will be held September 20 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM Sunday, September 20 to highlight the exhibit, “Center Stage: Theater Groups in Saratoga.” The exhibit is at the Saratoga History Museum and is free and open to the public.

The reception will include classical guitar music by John Snyder and light refreshments.

Saratoga Historical Foundation President Annette Stransky says, “the exhibit highlights 100 years of Saratoga culture and artistry beginning in 1915. There are many people who believe that theater is important not only for entertainment, but also to build culture. Some feel that theater is an art that when participating allows them to escape from every day life. It is a form for learning. It is a very collaborative art form because it can combine singing, dancing, and other skills. So many talents go into theatrical productions—including directing, stage construction, lighting, costumes, makeup, and more. It is an interesting art.”

Attendees will recognize many of the theater groups highlighted in the exhibit—which starts with Villa Montalvo in 1915 and goes to present day theater groups. Famed former Saratogans including actress Olivia deHavilland, Joan Fontaine, Lance Guest, and Steven Spielberg are included in the exhibit.

The Saratoga History Museum is located at 20450 Saratoga-Los Gatos Road in Saratoga. It is open from 1-4 PM Friday through Sunday. The new exhibit will run until November 15.
