One of our core programs is YouthAware which uses theatre as the medium to address health and wellness issues critical to young people today such as bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, and homophobia. Proceeds from the CONCERT TO END BULLYING will bring this vital program to more than 20,000 Bay Area children.

*VIP Package includes premium seating and exclusive post-show reception with Taye Diggs.
