This week we're featuring Bakersfield's Relay For Life 2006. This amazing event, which raised 1.3 million dollars for the American Cancer Society, is the biggest Relay For Life in California and the second biggest in the United States. In honor of our fallen comrade, Kevan Klawitter, the theatre community put together a rag-tag team of misfits to raise money and promote local drama. We raised quite a bit of money and brought our own stage with us to the fundraiser, staging performances from Major League Improv, Blacklist.

Join me on my journey as I cover this year's Relay from the point of view of a theatre addict. I'm bringing you there live via pictures and audio so you can share in all the fun with us.

In the photo gallery you'll find dozens of fun pictures of the weekend's activities. But you won't understand what you're looking at until you listen to this week's podcast. In Episode 8 of Bakersfield Theatre Radio I'll bring you live to the Relay For Life as we visit with local performing artists and drift off into madness in the middle of the night.

Enjoy, and make sure to join in this fun and fulfilling event in 2007!
