You're in for a frighteningly good time at A.C.T.'s 2nd Annual All Hallows' Gala!
Proceeds support our artistic, artist training, and education and community programs.
Special performance by Young Conservatory alum and award-winning stage, screen, and music recording artist Darren Criss.
American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) and gala co-chairs Heather Stallings Little & John Little and David Jones & Joe D'Alessandro are proud to announce Zombie Ball, the second annual All Hallows' Gala being held on Friday, October 27 at San Francisco's August Hall (420 Mason St.). Hailed as San Francisco's best costume party fundraiser, the All Hallows' Gala Zombie Ball will present guests with a frightfully elegant and theatrical night full of fun and friendship. The evening is the sole annual fundraising event for A.C.T., providing essential funds for the theater's artistic, actor training, and education and community programs. Guests at this year's Zombie Ball are encouraged to dress in costume or cocktail attire.
"A.C.T.'s All Hallows' Gala is the theater's sole fundraising event, providing essential funds for our artistic, actor training, and education and community programs," said Heather Stallings Little, Gala Co-Chair and A.C.T. Trustee. "John and I hope you will come out--either in zombie or zombie-fighting costume, or whatever you're comfortable in--and join us, our co-chairs, and special guest artist Darren Criss for what is going to be a fabulously fun evening."
"Joe and I are very excited about this year's event, which builds on the fantastic experience of the first All Hallows' Gala in 2022," adds David Jones, Gala Co-Chair and A.C.T. Trustee. "Halloween is undoubtedly the most theatrical holiday, and this year, A.C.T. has imagined a fun-filled Zombie Ball for the region to come and celebrate with us, raising money for the Bay Area's largest non-profit theater."
The wonderfully frightening evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception where guests will enjoy live music and conversation on the mezzanine, or escape to the "scream-easy" for a luxe respite. Welcome bites and thirst-quenching brews will be offered.
At 7:30 p.m., guests will be ushered to the historic music hall and treated to a lavish autumnal-inspired menu created by Gold Leaf Catering.
At 8:30 p.m., A.C.T. Young Conservatory alum and award-winning stage, screen, and music recording artist Darren Criss (American Buffalo, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Glee) will regale with some thrilling, Halloween-themed programming! Cap off the festive evening with the After-Life Party, featuring ultimate dance band Vinyl Project and the opportunity to play retro-games in the cool underground haunt, which includes bowling, hoops, skee-ball, and late-night bites, tricks, and treats! Be sure to capture your picture in one of the photoBOOths--humans only, no zombies allowed.
The Gala Committee--led by Heather Stallings Little & John Little and David Jones & Joe D'Alessandro--includes Kathleen Donohue, Lara Hitchcock, Cristy Johnston Limón, Ann Marymor, Toni Ratner Miller, Jeff Minick, Robina Riccitiello, and BD Wong.
