LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A twilight spent under the majestic pine trees of Cobb Mountain, a savory steak dinner paired with delicious local wines, dancing to the smooth tunes of a talented jazz trio, and raising funds for a worthy cause; can you imagine a more perfect way to spend a fall evening in Lake County?

A fundraiser benefiting the Lake County Passion Play will take place at 5 p.m. Sept. 23.

The Passion Play is a live outdoor performance depicting the final days of Christ’s ministry on Earth, His death and His resurrection.

The cast of over 100 people (and animals) is completely voluntary, and the play itself is free of charge.

Over the past 40 years, thousands of audience members have been moved and inspired by the Passion Play’s message of forgiveness, hope, and peace.

Tickets for the fundraiser are $75 for a single ticket, $120 for a couple or $500 for a table of eight.

They also are seeking donations for the live and silent auctions.

If you are interested in purchasing tickets for the event, or would like to make a donation of any kind, please contact Maryann Sanderson at 707-489-8820, Lisa Lambert at 707-245-7281 or email Laura Barnes at This email address is being protected from spambots.
