Raven Gala 2026

It’s that time of year! The Raven Gala 2026 is right around the corner and it is the perfect opportunity to support a theater that brings people together by nurturing young artists, showcasing local talent, and keeping the arts vibrant and accessible for our entire community. At a time when arts education and community spaces matter more than ever, the Raven continues to be a place where imagination thrives and everyone belongs.

The Raven’s Gala 2026 is a joyful celebration of the artists, children, educators, and community who bring this theater to life. The evening’s entertainment showcases the heart of the Raven, with the Raven Players, whose performances highlight the power of local storytelling and community-driven theater. The celebration continues with Young at Heart Theatre, the Raven’s resident children’s program, featuring talented young performers whose creativity, confidence, and joy onstage remind us why the arts matter.

Adding to the magic are the students from St. John’s School, currently rehearsing Alice in Wonderland which performs on the Raven stage in March. Students from The Healdsburg School will also be performing musical numbers from past and upcoming productions. These young performers are the future of storytelling, imagination, and creative expression.

The evening builds to a rousing grand finale by nationally known recording artist Pete Stringfellow, bringing the celebration to an unforgettable close. We even have a special guest, Assemblyman Chris Rogers, who will be in attendance!

For those seeking the ultimate Raven Gala experience, a limited number of Platinum Tickets include an exclusive pre-show VIP event at The Taste of Tea featuring magician/mentalist Robert Goleman, whose dazzling performances have been described as “nothing short of astonishing.”

Your support of the Raven’s Gala directly funds arts education, youth programming, and access to the theater for local schools and nonprofit organizations. More than a venue, the Raven is a gathering place, and a living reminder that a strong community is defined by its commitment to the arts. We cannot wait to celebrate with you. 

Young at Heart Youth Theatre, St. John School, and The Healdsburg School perform as part of Gala ’26 celebrations! Check out these testimonials about how important the Raven and our youth theater programs, including Young At Heart, have been to families in Sonoma County.
