THE EMPTY SPACE’S SUMMER PICNIC & BASKET AUCTION!
“A picnic for all ages to benefit The Empty Space!”
Saturday, June 21st

In an effort to bring back the annual “theatre picnics” of the past, The Empty Space would like to extend an invitation to all the theatres around town as well as ALL Bakersfield artists and their families! There will be lunch, games, prizes, raffles, face painting, and a preview performance of Reefer Madness: The Musical (family-friendly scenes only, of course!) To top it off, we’ll be auctioning off some delicious picnic baskets filled with homemade desserts and baked goods. Come hang out, eat, support the arts, catch up with old friends, and make some new ones! Bring water balloons and squirt guns to cool off afterwards!
Picnic Lunch:
$6 adults
$4 kids
(includes hot dogs, chips, fruit, and lemonade. A la carte items available as well).
Please RSVP at 327-PLAY to help us get an idea of how many people to expect. We’d love to see as many local artists in attendance as possible, so spread the word to your friends and family!
