Cal Shakes Singles Night with WineSocials.com September 26, 2008

Cal Shakes is partnering with WineSocials.com to offer a unique wine tasting and theater event for Bay Area singles.

Located in the glorious Siesta Valley in the East Bay hills near Orinda, Cal Shakes' Bruns Amphitheater offers a casual, relaxed venue in which to enjoy world-class theater and fine wine.

WineSocials.com will present their tasting from 6-8pm in the upper picnic grove at the Bruns. Immediately following the wine tasting, Cal Shakes will present Shakespeare's classic comedy, Twelfth Night, directed by Mark Rucker. In the coastal kingdom of Illyria, young Viola has lost her twin brother to a storm at sea; what ensues is Shakespeare’s most profound romantic comedy, in which love propels everyone and leads to utter joy, deepest sorrow, and, at times, madness.

Please note: The wine tasting and play are ticketed separately. You may purchase special discounted tickets to Twelfth Night on this site; no box office or phone sales. All tickets for Twelfth Night will be held at will call, with valid ID required to pick them up. Full price tickets ($45 regular/$20 age 30 and under) will be available at the door, subject to availability.

Tickets to the wine tasting are $20 in advance and $30 at the door, and are not included in the Twelfth Night ticket price. To purchase wine tasting tickets, go to WineSocials.com and clink on the link for the Cal Shakes event.

There is plenty of free parking onsite or take the free shuttle to and from the Orinda BART station (note: shuttle service returning to BART is not available until after the performance.) This is an outdoor event, so comfortable, casual clothing (think jeans and fleeces) are customary.
