No Square Theatre will host “Acting on Wine -- A Taste for Theatre,”

an evening of wine tasting, food, jazz and silent auction to raise funds

to purchase a theatre in downtown and to continue providing an annual

scholarship for a graduate of Laguna Beach High School.

“We involve everyone from all walks of life and ages who want to be

involved in something creative,” said Lisa Morrice, board member and

publicity coordinator for the Theatre.

Since 1992 the Theatre under the artistic direction of Bree Burgess

has produced the annual “Lagunatics: A Musical Roast of Life on the

Coast.” This year they will be producing two musicals and a children’s

production to run during the summer. The nonprofit organization also

holds concerts and professional workshops.

The event will include premium wines and the sounds of Lynda Roth and

Karen Gallinger. Vintners such as Clos La Chance, the Kenwood Artist

Series, Raymond, Cakebread, Louis Jadot, Trefethen and Robert Mondavi

will be featured. The event will be catered by The Upper Crust.

The tasting starts from 3 to 6 p.m. at [seven degrees], 891 Laguna

Canyon Road. Tickets are $75 and must be reserved by May 14. For tickets
