SUMMER GALA (2021)

Having spent far too long not able to perform in person, Starhouse Amateur Theatre Co. held a gala in the summer of 2021, with an auction of original art, a potluck dinner, sea shanties, vaudeville songs, original skits, Shakespearean excerpts, and ending with a campfire-style singalong. 
The Summer Gala was held in the courtyard of The Historic Hoover Theatre in San José, under the auspices of Playful People Productions, on August 7th, 2021. All guests were asked to show proof of vaccination at the door, and remain masked and socially distanced throughout.
