What to Wear

The pre-show picnic and performance are entirely outdoors so please come prepared for all types of weather. In the summer, the grounds can be quite hot during the day but cool quickly when the sun sets so we recommend dressing in layers. You may bring an umbrella or a large hat, but the use of umbrellas, parasols, or large hats during the performance, either for protection from the rain or sun, is prohibited. Also, the grounds consist of level-but-uneven lawns, gently rolling hillsides, and gravel paths. Therefore, sturdy and comfortable shoes are recommended. Feel free to bring a blanket or sweatshirt for when the temperatures drop, but know that both are available for purchase at Transcendence merchandise stations.

Smoking on park grounds is a fire hazard and is therefore strictly prohibited. This includes all electronic smoking and vapor devices. Smoking is allowed in the upper and lower parking lots at the park only.

Bring It In, Bring It Out

When bringing your own picnic, follow the “Bring it In, Bring it Out” philosophy. Pack a picnic basket with reusable plastic plates, cutlery, napkins and more. This is the best way to leave no trace when you finish your meal and leave the park. Keep in mind, however, that breakable china or glass is prohibited in an effort to keep the park safe from accidental breakage.

If you find it necessary to bring disposable plates and cutlery, support our efforts by bringing only 100% compostable materials into the park. Keep in mind that reusable Govino glasses are available for purchase at Transcendence events. These glasses can either be fully recycled or used again and again at Transcendence events.

Near Zero Waste Initiative

Beginning in 2015, Transcendence Theatre Company implemented a “Near Zero Waste Initiative” for all events at Jack London State Historic Park. You can participate and help us in respecting the historic integrity of the park as we celebrate and enjoy the beauty of the land.

Together, we can make Transcendence events at Jack London State Historic Park the most environmentally friendly events in Sonoma County!

Recycling & Compost

We recycle! When disposing of your waste take an extra minute to drop recyclables in blue recycling bins and any remaining items in black trash bins. Ask any staff member with a green bandana and they would be happy to help. This extra second makes a profound impact on the waste that leaves our events.

We also encourage you to bring reusable water bottles! Leave the plastic bottles at home and save the waste.
