Rita Wilson explains: "Tom and I have been involved in Shakespeare Festival/LA for 17 years. This is one of the most fun nights we have during the year. Being able to play Shakespeare with such great actors and musicians makes for an evening of awe and a lot of laughs."
Husband and fellow thespian Tom Hanks agrees: "The greatest joy for an actor is to perform Shakespeare. The best evening in the theater for an audience, is to see Shakespeare performed."

Eric Gazin, President of Auction Cause comments "this is the first time we have seen an experience where the winner gets to interact with so many movie stars in such a personal way. We have auctioned lunches and dinners with A-list people, but the chance to rehearse, perform and attend an after party we believe is unprecedented at this level."
