An Evening With Lyle Lovett

Opening Night at the Bankhead debuts on Saturday, August 29, and it will be a very special night for the arts in Livermore.

The evening features an intimate performance by four-time Grammy Award winner Lyle Lovett, plus a live auction, raffle, and Fund-a-Need supporting arts education outreach programs.

After the show, the celebration continues on the Bankhead Plaza with live music, tapas-style bites, desserts, dancing, and a no-host bar.

Event sponsorships are also available.

Shakespeare & Wine in the Vineyard All July!

Shakespeare, but make it 1990s.

SPARC Theater’s Shakespeare in the Vineyard returns to Darcie Kent Vineyards this summer with The Tragedy of Hamlet, set in a fresh 1990s-inspired world of love, betrayal, grief, and revenge.

Bring a picnic, grab some local wine, and settle in under the evening sky for one of Shakespeare’s most powerful stories, performed by a talented Bay Area cast in one of Livermore’s most beautiful outdoor settings.
