Our Fundraisers and Activities
The Santa Clara Women’s League was founded in 1983 when funding for the Senior Center Health & Wellness Program was in jeopardy. A group of Santa Clara women started raising funds for the Program by putting on an old-fashioned melodrama, SHOWTIME. In March of each year, that tradition continues and the Santa Clara Women’s League is the primary sponsor. We gather donations, produce and sell tickets, and volunteer at the two performances. All of this takes many dedicated and hardworking women who want to serve their community.
SHOWTIME is a family-oriented event and features a rollicking performance of an old-fashioned melodrama, ”Penelope at Pruneyard Patch” where audiences boo the villain and cheer the hero! After intermission we will have performances by local talent – dance, music and more. All in all, it is a great time for everyone from age 4 to 99 and we encourage our community to come support this great cause.
Showtime 2024 has drawn to a close. Information about Showtime 2025 will be updated on our SHOWTIME page.
