Welcome to the dazzling, dramatic, and downright delightful world of California! Picture a state where the sun has a perpetual playdate with the Pacific, the trees stand tall as if strutting on stilts, and the bear on the flag gets up to all sorts of shenanigans when no one is looking. This is the land where magic leaps off the pages of scripts and lands on stages, and where kids are the stars of the show. Meet the California Drama Kids - an ebullient bunch of pint-sized performers whose infectious enthusiasm could outshine any Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Whether they're in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or somewhere in between, they all share one thing in common - a love for theater that's as deep as the Pacific Ocean itself. Now, let me introduce you to their whimsical mentor, Sir Applause-a-Lot. He sports a majestic mustache that could challenge any broomstick, a top hat with a personality of its own, and a pair of twinkling spectacles that seem to have an entire galaxy trapped inside them. He has a hearty laugh that sounds like a trumpet and a tiptoe that would put a cat burglar to shame. Sir Applause-a-Lot guides our brave actors through their lines, their moves, and their nerves, transforming them into whatever their hearts desire: gallant knights, crafty wizards, or even chattering squirrels. No matter how far-fetched or absurd, there's no limit to what they can become. Their performances are filled with giggles, gaffes, and grandeur that would make even the grumpiest of grizzly bears grin. So, if you ever spot a bunch of kids in California, gesticulating wildly and talking in funny accents, don't be surprised! They're just practicing to steal the spotlight on the stage, under the watchful, twinkling eyes of Sir Applause-a-Lot.

For the past two decades, Shakespeare's Associates, Inc, dba Shakespeare & Performing Arts Regional Company (SPARC) has been creating a sense of community throughout the region. Through its production of high quality theatrical experiences in vineyards, public establishments, performing arts venues, schools, colleges and universities, SPARC has made a lasting impact. In 2020, that impact was celebrated in a big way when SPARC was named the "Best Live Theater" in the East Bay by the readers of the East Bay Times for a third consecutive year. This incredible achievement is due in part to the hard work of Founding Artistic Director Lisa A. Tromovitch, who has been leading the organization since 2002. Additionally, a restructuring to incorporate as a nonprofit organization in 2006 gave rise to a new board of active community leaders, an artistic council of Bay Area professional artists, and a solid foundation of donors.
