There’s a little extra 18th-century French flair on the patio during the run of The Salonnières, with themed amusements and a special prize drawing.
Inspired by the lively gatherings hosted by French salonnières, theatergoers can test their knowledge with a “Name That Historical Figure” guessing game and discover some surprising, even scandalous, facts about 18th-century life.
Adding to the fun is “The Salonnières: Vive la Prize!”, a drawing for a gift basket valued at approximately $350. Featuring wine, gift cards and other treats, the collection will be displayed in a decorative birdcage on the patio stage, a playful nod to the production.
Special thanks to our generous local partners, Chaupain Bakery on Del Mar and San Clemente Wine Company, just steps from the Playhouse, which donated a superb bottle of French red wine.
Drawing tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the concession stand during performances. The winner will be selected following the closing performance on December 13.
These special activities are part of a new effort to make the Cabrillo experience even more engaging while raising additional funds to support the theater. Come early, enjoy the festivities and help us make this experiment a success!
