‘The Box’ Fundraiser at Cala

In less than a month rehearsals for The Box, Sarah Shourd’s play about solitary confinement, will commence. The show will run at Z Space for a total of 22 performances from July 8th to 30th. If we fill the house every night over 5,000 people see this play, elevating the brave and tragic stories of people fighting for justice on the front lines in this country.

We’re almost there, but we still need your help. Cala, a new, seafood-centric Mexican restaurant in San Francisco that employs formerly incarcerated people is stepping up to host our final fundraiser!

Renowned Chef Cámara will serve delicious bites of her seasonal cuisine as well as signature cocktails, wine and beer. Sarah Shourd and SF Public Defender Jeff Adachi will speak about the status of solitary confinement in California. Carlos Aguirre, beat box artist and actor, will perform.

WHEN: Sunday, June 5th, 2016, 6 to 8pm

RSVP NOW (space is limited): http://tinyurl.com/theboxcala

Funds raised will go toward producing and publicizing The Box. Specifically, placing key ads and distributing posters far and wide so we can create a buzz and fill the house night after night. All donations are tax-deductible and will be mentioned in the playbill. The first 25 people to RSVP will also receive a copy of Shourd’s new book, Hell Is a Very Small Place: Voices from Solitary Confinement.

The Box is much more than just a play and Cala is much more than just a restaurant: please join us if you can on this incredible night. It’s happening. We’re so close I can feeeeeel it.

Yours,
Sarah Shourd and Team
