The Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival has announced this year’s honoree for the Court of the Lord Chamberlain, the kick-off event of the LA Summerfest at Rivendale.

Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook, Chancellor of the Santa Clarita Community College District, will be inducted in recognition of her leadership and support of the arts in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Since before Shakespeare’s time, the post of the Lord Chamberlain was responsible for patronage of the arts.

Induction to the Court is a designation to honor patrons who have made a significant contribution to the arts in our community. The Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival has been lucky to have hundreds of students from College of the Canyons participate in our program throughout the years. It is an exciting opportunity for artistic growth that builds valuable experience while providing a unique cultural event for our valley.

Past honorees include Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich, Councilperson Laurene Weste, and CalArts President, Dr. Steven Lavine.

The Court of the Lord Chamberlain gala marks the opening of the 7th season of the LA SummerFest, which takes place at Rivendale at Towsley Canyon in Santa Clarita. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, July 15, 2016 and includes a buffet dinner, drinks, dessert and a preview of the season’s performance offerings.

Tickets prices are $75 and are available https://lordchamberlain2016gala.eventbrite.com .The funds raised through this event support the Festival and our newly-created fund designated for college students who work with the Festival and have plans to continue their education in the arts.

The LA SummerFest is an annual cultural production of the Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival. One of the fastest growing events of its kind in the Southland, the LA SummerFEST consists of music, theatre, and special events including the annual Shakespeare in the Park series, the High School Apprentice Program, Leslie Berra’s OUT OF THE BOX Tribute to the Jukebox Musicals, and the three summer music festivals (The AmericanaFEST, The BluesFEST, and Jazz & Wine at Rivendale.
