Guests can bring their own Star Wars inspired and handmade props to show our panel of industry professionals.
President Reagan announced on March 23, 1983 his intention to start groundbreaking research into a national defense system that would make nuclear weapons obsolete. This national defense system was called the Strategic Defense Initiative or SDI. Prior to all of this, George Lucas created Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope. Our new exhibit, which is fun and informative, showcases the intersection of SDI and the movie franchise. It includes items from SDI, as well as props, costumes, and concept art from the Star Wars Franchise.
You will be served a Star Wars themed three-course meal while learning more about the “Making of Star Wars” from our special panel of speakers. Following lunch, all guests will self-guide the Defending America and the Galaxy: Star Wars and SDI exhibit and have the opportunity to tour the Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum and Air Force One Pavilion.
This all-inclusive offer is $68 per person. Reservations are required and must be made by Monday, July 15th at 8:00 a.m. This event will sell out, so please make your reservations early. Casual attire is suggested.

Annie
2024-06-22 20:00 - 22:00 | Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center, 3050 E Los Angeles Ave, Simi Valley, 93065, United States
Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time returns in a new production – just as you remember it and just when we need it most. Based on the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, ANNIE has become a worldwide phenomenon and was the winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The beloved book and score by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, features some of the greatest musical theatre hits ever written, including “Tomorrow.” This celebration of family, optimism and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way. With a cast featuring the billionaire Daddy Warbucks, the villainous Miss Hannigan, the adorable furry sidekick Sandy, and of course the plucky Annie and her fellow orphans, ANNIE promises great entertainment for the entire family! This production is suitable for all ages!
Tickets are $33 for Adults, $28 for Seniors 60 & Above and Students and $22 for Children 12 and under. Please note there is an additional $2 per ticket surcharge on all ticket sales both online or in person.
