2024-10-13 13:00 - 16:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum, 734 Marin Street, Vallejo, CA, 94590, United States
We love this annual fundraiser and October 13, 2024, will be our 6th Sprout Film Festival! This event focuses exclusively on films celebrating the diverse lives and creativity of people with developmental disabilities. Once again, our fundraiser will be at the beautiful Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum in downtown Vallejo. Our films will be screened in the lovely Hall of History along with our silent auction, no-host bar, and appetizers.
What can you expect from this event? Comedy! Drama! Documentary! Poetry! Music Video! We have it all! Previous attendees have been blown away by the talent they’ve seen on the screen and they’ve enjoyed themselves immensely. Plus, the silent auction is filled with desirable items and gift cards from our local community, exciting trips, and artwork from local artisans. Last year’s auction donors included Bambino’s, Ballet Folklorico Canela, Moment’s Shared, The Oakland A’s, Alibi Bookshop, Pieced on Earth, and Savage & Cooke.
Funds raised from the Sprout Film Festival are used towards our mission, which is to promote the greatest personal growth, community understanding, and full participation of people with developmental disabilities and their families through support, education, and advocacy.

Grim and disquietingly funny, The Drowning Girls is as much a cypher for women’s plight in our own day as it is a look back to an era when many women were dependent on men for everything from money to social standing. It was a situation ripe for abuse–physical, emotional, economic, social. That such varied forms of violence against women still exist is the play’s unspoken message.

Roald Dahl’s fantastical tale of a boy, his insect friends and their amazing journey across the ocean on a giant piece of fruit.
Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach is now a musical for the whole family to enjoy! Featuring a wickedly tuneful score by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul (Dogfight and A Christmas Story the Musical) and a curiously quirky book by Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley), critics rave: James and the Giant Peach is a “masterpeach!”
