By telling deeply relevant stories, we’re building a new culture of theatregoing in the Bay Area and contributing to a revitalization of theatre nationwide, challenging all of us to think deeper, laugh louder, and engage more purposefully and profoundly with our neighbors and our world.

Long ago, after attending Barbara Oliver’s reading of Dorothy Bryant’s “Dear Master (1990)” (which became the Aurora Theatre’s first production) at Cody’s Books, my husband and I became immediate Aurora supporters. Years later, I was thrilled to be able to invest my inheritance from my parents into their namesake “Nell & Jules Dashow Wing,” to honor them and to benefit the Aurora. Theater lovers love the Aurora because it’s simply the best.
