Preserve an East Bay cultural landmark for its next chapter.
The historic amphitheater is the heart of Siesta Valley. Renewing it means preserving a place where generations have gathered while preparing it for performances, student learning, and community life for years to come.
We are seeking support for permanent sound and lighting, a renewed North Star Community Center, and improvements to the amphitheater’s terraces and seating. These investments will strengthen the shared facilities that make arts, education, and public gatherings possible.
$250,000
Install a permanent system that brings clear, consistent sound to audiences and supports live performance, teaching, and community events.
$300,000
Equip the stage with permanent lighting and controls for music, theater, dance, student productions, and hands-on technical learning.
$150,000
Create a multipurpose gathering space for workshops, weddings, classes, nonprofit events, and community activities.
$100,000
Resurface worn amphitheater terraces and redesign the seating arrangement to improve comfort, circulation, and flexibility. Evaluate durable benches and other seating options as part of the design.
WORKING DRAFT: figures require approval.
A renewed cultural landmark with lasting infrastructure for artists, learners, and the community.
