Numerous auction items will be available for bids throughout the event; all auction purchases qualify as tax-deductible donations. This one night only performance will take place September 19 at 6 p.m. OnWord Theatre acknowledges that we create and perform on the unceded land of the Kumeyaay people, who have nurtured this region since time immemorial.
