45th Anniversary Celebration

July 21 | 1 PM - 4 PM | $25

Come celebrate 45 years of Summer! We like to think we throw a pretty good party around here, and you’re not going to want to miss this one.

• Enjoy live music from Sugar Mama and the Rent Check, Violet Palms, and Alys and the Ark with special APT guest singers, including Brenda DeVita, Tracy Michelle Arnold, Rasell Holt and Elizabeth Reese!
• Test your APT knowledge at BINGO Trivia, featuring APT celebrity callers Nate Burger, Laura Rook, Colleen Madden, Carey Cannon & Sara Young.
• Learn what goes on behind the scenes with live demonstrations from APT artisans in the Artisan Demonstration Tent!
• Bid and win at the silent and live auctions featuring art, experiences, APT artifacts and more. Prizes include:
  • APT Actorgrams: Personalized video recordings from some of your favorite Core Company Actors, including Tracy Michelle Arnold, Nate Burger, Tim Gittings, Phoebe González, Josh Krause, Colleen Madden, Brian Mani, Samantha Newcomb, James Ridge & Laura Rook!
  • Those Gold Shoes worn by Daniel José Molina (Dorante) in last season's The Liar
  • A replica of Jessica Ko's (Beatrice) squid mask from Much Ado About Nothing
  • Many other one-of-a-kind items and artworks made by APT company and friends.
• Live Auction - a few very special items will be auctioned live on the Hill stage right before the Finale.
• Wine Pull - a carnival game for adults! Available at $20 & $45 levels, try your luck at pulling a high-quality vintage!
• Head to the Story Wall and let us know what APT means to you. Your answer could become part of Core Company Actor (and unofficial poet in residence) David Daniel's Found Poem, which will be read during the Finale.
• All culminating in a Finale Presentation by the APT Core Company.

Programs including maps will be available upon arrival.

Shuttles will be running throughout the event, and Golf Cart transport is available throughout the Hill Theatre area during the event.

If you wish to attend Ma Rainey's Black Bottom or Wolf at the Door or Fat Jacks on July 21, please order your tickets in advance as performances may sell out. Kona Ice and Concessions items will be available for purchase on site in the Hill Lobby.
