Food:
With the rising costs associated with food, and with attendees shifting perspectives to more variety and choice we were left with two choices. Increasing the cost of Festival to accommodate or remove catered meals and reduce the cost of the festival. Our decision was to remove catered meals starting with the 2019 Event and reduce the cost of the festival accordingly.
California Thespians will be working hard to bring additional Food Truck and vendor offerings to the event for our attendees to choose from at an additional cost. A menu of these offerings will be made available closer to the event. Troupes are also welcome to bring their own food as well. California Thespians will continue to sponsor meals for Judges, Troupe Director Dinner, and Hospitality Room.
In addition, surrounding the Highlander Auditorium are restaurants and grocery options available at both walking and short driving distances.

Hotels:
California Thespians does not arrange any group rates at area hotels. We have found that often troupes are able to find lower rates than often extended as part of group.
While we have no arrangement with any booking company, we have found that sites such as Trip Advisor can be one of many great starting points when finding a hotel. For example here is a list of highly rated hotels in the area.
