The Lompoc Theatre Project (LTP) presents The Show Must Go On, a virtual variety show to benefit the restoration of the historic Lompoc Theatre, which will stream live through Facebook on Friday, March 26, from 6 to about 8:30 p.m.Â
Hosted by Mark Herrier, LTP’s executive director, this fundraiser will include a variety of musical performances from local acts, including the Simmons Sisters, Jacob Cole, Angelina LaPointe, Kaitlyn Chui, and more. Special celebrity guests set to appear during the event include Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brad Hall, Henry Hall, Jeffrey Combs, Tom Bergeron, Rona Barrett, Jeff McCarthy, Richard Karn, Grace Towers, and Alotta Boutte.
Although admission is free, viewers are encouraged to donate $20 for a special VIP ticket, which grants access to bid on more than 30 different auction items from local wineries, restaurants, hotels, and businesses. The auction portion of the fundraiser will open on Saturday, March 20, at 9 a.m. and run through Friday, March 26, at 9 p.m. One-hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the Lompoc Theatre, which the LTP aims to help restore and reopen as a performing arts and film center and community hub.Â
