A 50th Anniversary Private After-Party Reunion Celebration (& Fundraiser)!
April 16, 2020 – 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM
at the Back on the Beach Cafe in Santa Monica
Literary toasts, memories, recitations, and songs at sunset!
PLEASE NOTE: We are very sorry to report that this event is postponed. As you know, this event is tied to the reading at the Annenberg Community Beach House earlier in the evening. The Annenberg has cancelled that event due to public health concerns with COVID-19. We will reschedule this celebration for the Fall, TBD. We all send our thanks to everyone who has been so supportive, and look forward to a terrific event later on. Stay tuned for more details. Stay healthy!
Alums, staff and friends, please join us immediately following the free public reading at the Annenberg Beach House for an After-Party Celebration and Reunion. After the reading, ticket holders (all together) will walk, skip or stroll just a few steps down the boardwalk to Back on the Beach Cafe, a beachside restaurant, for a reunion and 50th anniversary celebration. Join us for wine, beer, and delicious hearty h’ors d’oeuvres, while the sun sets.
Back on the Beach Cafe is small, so make sure to purchase your tickets early, before they sell out.

Just to reiterate: A ticket to this party is different from the Best of the West reading. Although that event is free, you must reserve your seat.
This venue is wheelchair accessible.
Note:
Be sure to reserve your ticket for the free Best of the West reading which takes place earlier in the evening, as well, with Kazim Ali, Aimee Bender, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo, and Dylan Landis; emcees: Janet Fitch and Dana Johnson. Ticket-buyers for the after-party are not automatically added to the reservation list for that event.
We hope to see you at both events!
