La Sobremesa is what happens at every single family dinner in my house, and it is no surprise that it organically happens after the show ends and no one wants to leave.

The lingering. The second glass of wine. The conversation that starts with "did you see that moment" and ends somewhere much bigger.

This October, we are inviting our closest friends, donors, and supporters to experience Carmen and celebrate our third year at the Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre with an intimate reception and dinner.

The night unfolds in three moments:

4:00 pm — Pre-Show Reception, VPAT Lobby
Wine, small bites, and time with Angela and the cast. This is our moment for photos, conversation, and a proper thank you before the curtain rises.

5:00 pm — Carmen, Live at VPAT
Experience the show from the best seats in the house.

7:00 pm — La Sobremesa at La Guagua
Dinner begins at 7:30. We'll share where the foundation is headed, raise a glass to this year, and dream together about what comes next.

This is not a gala. It is a family dinner. Intimate, warm, and exclusively for the people who are part of this story.

We can't wait to share this evening with you.
