Actor Chris Noth coming to Santa Rosa gala
Television and film actor Chris Noth, known for his roles on “Law & Order,” “Sex and the City” (as Mr. Big) and “The Good Wife,” will appear Santa Rosa in September as the guest of honor at a fundraiser for the 6th Street Playhouse.
The event will be held Sept. 23 at the historic McDonald Mansion and hosted by owners John and Jennifer Webley.
“People don’t realize it, but Chris Noth is a classically-trained actor who graduated from the prestigious Yale School of Drama,” said Jared Sakren, executive director of the 6th Street Playhouse. “I was his teacher at Yale and we have remained friends since then, so when I asked him to come help raise some money for 6th Street Playhouse.”
The evening will open with a VIP reception in the mansion’s library with wine, cocktails, hors d’oevres and a tour of the mansion, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
The main event will run from 6 to 9 p.m., with an open bar, a tour, live jazz and other entertainment. Dinner, featuring paella by Chef Gerard Nebesky, will be served at 6:45 p.m. A live auction starts at 7:45 p.m., with Hollywood memorabilia, a Hollywood trip and other items.
