Founded in 2015, the Petaluma Shakespeare Company has quickly become a popular summer staple in the North Bay for its annual Shakespeare by the River Festival, featuring free theater done in a picturesque outdoor setting. The company is able to do that thanks to the community support it receives at fundraisers like this weekend’s Shakespeare in the Vineyard. Along with wine and pizza made fresh in a wood-burning oven, the afternoon offers a fun mix of scenes, soliloquies and song from guests like Steven Harrison of New York City’s Metropolitan Opera. Sunday, June 3, Azari Vineyards, 1399 Spring Hill Road, Petaluma. 2pm. $40. petalumashakespeare.org.
