Acclaimed storyteller and actor Stephen Kearin will headline An Evening with Storyteller Stephen Kearin, a fundraising event to benefit the South Pasadena Arts Council (SPARC), on Sunday, June 1, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at Visionarium Live Italian, located at 1020 Mission Street in South Pasadena.
The one-night-only event promises an intimate, laughter-filled performance featuring Kearin, a founding member of the renowned improv trio 3 FOR ALL. With a celebrated career spanning theater, film, animation, and video games, Kearin is known for his work in The Sims, Kung Fu Panda, and Madagascar, as well as for his appearances with Cirque Du Soleil and Stanford University.
A Unique Evening of Art and Community
For $25, guests will enjoy Kearin’s performance, a complimentary glass of wine or beer, and light fare. Following the show, attendees can stay for dinner at Visionarium, where they will receive 10% off their meal. An additional 10% of those dinner proceeds will be donated to SPARC.
Seating is limited, and tickets are available now. The event serves not only as a memorable night of entertainment but also as a meaningful opportunity to support arts education and programming in the local community.
