SANTA BARBARA — Ensemble Theatre Company has announced a special fundraising event, “Curtain Up!”
The benefit will feature dinner as well as a live performance by Linda Purl (“Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Story”) and a silent auction.
“Curtain Up!” will take place at 5 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Santa Barbara Club, 1105 Chapala St., Santa Barbara. All proceeds support ETC’s mission to present professional quality theater in the city.
Silent auction items include a three-night stay at the Manhattan Club Penthouse in New York City, which includes two Broadway shows and dinner vouchers for two New York restaurants.

If you can’t attend the event in person, you can bid on auction items.
