January 29, 2020, Santa Rosa, CA—Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) will celebrate the reopening of the newly renovated Burbank Auditorium with a grand opening weekend beginning with a ribbon-cutting on Friday, March 6, 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The ribbon-cutting will feature a special music performance directed by faculty member Dr. Jerome Fleg and backstage tours will be available following the ceremony. This free event will be held in the Luther Burbank Auditorium lobby, 1501 Mendocino Ave, CA 95401.

SRJC President Frank Chong said that he is thrilled to welcome the community back to Burbank Auditorium. “Sonoma County supported this renovation by passing Measure H in 2014,” he said. “Now, we invite everyone back to enjoy the incredible performance space that they helped create.”
