Bidding for Berkeley Theater

The silent auction was anything but quiet at the Aurora Theatre Company's Aurora Borealis fundraising gala in March at Scott's Seafood Restaurant. With theater enthusiasts, writers and actors, would you expect anything less? Supporters of the 15-year-old Berkeley-based company happily mingled and bid on items like Meyer Sound Speakers and a weeklong stay in Umbria, Italy (put on the block by auctioneer Narsai David), and likely left the same way they leave an Aurora performance: delighted.
