From Your Everlovin’ Editor
Hello friend,
I was just looking back at photos of some really great times at TLC SF and TLC Santa Rosa. It makes me smile to think that (so far) we’ve made it through some tough years. It was iffy at times.
Thanks to you who came to a show or signed up to be an Anchor Donor or told a friend about us this week. You’re awesome!
We’re happy to be a small piece of the pie that we all know and love as our local Bay Area and North Bay arts community.
It’s been 12 years and it feels like we’re just getting started on what we can grow together. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Love,
Michele & The Lost Church

Summer On The Square Returns to Santa Rosa
June & July 2023
The Lost Church is excited to share that we have co-produced this year’s Summer on the Square Series.
Not only that, but we’re running the bar!
This means that when you join us at one of these fun summertime concerts or movies you not only get to say hello to the TLC Staffer who is pouring your drink, but every purchase you make goes directly to support our theater and nonprofit!
Since the concerts end at 8pm you can make an evening of it and come to our Downtown Santa Rosa Theater to keep having fun and feeding your senses afterward.
Music on the Square will bring live music and dancing to Downtown Courthouse Square on seven Fridays throughout the summer. The Lost Church, a nonprofit arts organization with a Downtown performance space, is helping coordinate the scheduling of local performers who bring a diversity of styles.
Movies on the Square are back this year and better than ever. Four Monday night screenings on a massive LED screen will light up Courthouse Square in Downtown Santa Rosa.
Learn more at the Santa Rosa Metro Chamber Website.
