Berkeley Playhouse
Silent Auction and 70s Party
St. Johns Presbyterian Church
Oct 15, 2011
We’re inviting you to show your support for Berkeley Playhouse at our first-ever fundraising
party! The Playhouse is, thanks to you, one of the fastest-growing theatre companies in the entire
region.
What you may not know is that, although our seats fill and our classes have waiting lists, the cost of
building and maintaining the organization are astronomical (especially in musical theatre). As we are
barely three years old, we have very little foundation and corporate support. We also take the
stewardship of this beautiful, historic building very seriously, and have put a lot of resources into
cosmetic and infrastructure improvements.
We really do rely on the generosity of our patrons and donors.
Nowhere is your help more needed than in our education and outreach programs. In the past two years,
we have awarded over $10,000 in need-based financial aid to students in our classes and youth
performance programs.
We also continue to grow our outreach programs to local schools, where arts education funding
continues to get cut. We’re providing workshops and the magic of live professional theatre to kids who
may not otherwise get it. This program is crucial to our mission, but very expensive.
“THAT 70s PARTY” and our auction is a fun way to help us raise money for our youth and outreach
programs, while building community with other families and supporters of our organization.
Please join us on October 15 at St. Johns Church. We need your help to make our first event a huge
success!
Thank you, as always, for your support. It means a lot!

A WORD OF THANKS!
I would like to recognize and show my thanks to the many people who helped to put this
fundraiser together, and the volunteers who are still signing up to help us on October 15. This
has been a rewarding and collaborative effort for Berkeley Playhouse, including the many
people cited below. The teamwork has been terrific to get our very first party and fundraiser off
the ground.
My personal kudos to all!

How The Auction Works
The Silent Auction is a great way to support our theatre while enjoying the Party. Bidding
starts for all items on Saturday, October 15, when we will welcome you to our 70s PARTY at
St. Johns Presbyterian Church. The church is located at 2701 College Avenue, and the
auction begins at 5:00pm.
Please note that bidding is for adults only.
HOW TO BID
You will be assigned a random bidder number. To make a bid, sign the bid sheet with your
bidder number and your name or initials. Your bidder number must be legible to win the item.
You will receive your bidder number at check-in on the evening of the auction, October 15.
To bid on something, find the item/s you like and start bidding. Please be sure to honor the
increments. Also, please read the full description of the items you bid on for scheduled dates
(especially for community parties), restrictions and other considerations. Check on your bids
frequently and bid again. Many additional items will be available for bid the night of the auction
party.
We look forward to seeing you then.
