The format features 2 acts in different locations. This benefit and celebration is the AVPA Foundation’s main fundraiser of the year!
How it’ll work:
From 2pm to 3:30pm, patrons can explore the various exhibitions and performances on the Culver High campus, centered around the Kunisawa Garden and staff parking lot. Check out a live film shoot in a hallway, enjoy live music in the parking lot, learn 1940s dance moves, step into a jazz-age speakeasy, and view the SOVA art exhibit. Refreshments will be available throughout the first act (included in the ticket price). There will also be our traditional raffle baskets filled with valuable items. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase in advance with your admission ticket, or throughout the first act. They’ll be on display near the Kunisawa Garden.
After 3:30pm, we’ll move into the Robert Frost Auditorium for the 2nd Act - a showcase and celebration of AVPA. The “Case of the Missing Cases” will be solved and the gift baskets will be raffled off! We’ll also present scholarships from the Culver City Arts Foundation and Sony Pictures Entertainment and induct the newest members of our Hall of Fame. Each AVPA School will perform or present, culminating in a finale featuring a performance of “Luck Be a Lady” from Guys and Dolls.
Please respect the neighbors of the Frost and do not park in the immediate surrounding neighborhoods.
