California Freethought Day Festival

Join us for the California Freethought Day Festival 2024!

Schedule of Events:

A one of-a-kind event featuring John de Lancie, performing his radio play about the famous Dover trial. This is a separate event with advance registration required.

John de Lancie, best known for his role as "Q" in the Star Trek franchise, will appear live in Sacramento for one night only performing, “The Dover Panda Trial".

This original radio play, written by Mr. de Lancie and Kristen Tregar, is a reenactment of the 2005 trial in which evangelicals took over the Dover, PA school board and tried to replace the approved biology textbook with Intelligent Design (Creationism). Their actions resulted in a lawsuit, and this is the exciting story about that trial, performed live by 16 outstanding actors and starring John de Lancie.

Doors open at 6:30 PM for mingling. Our program starts promptly at 7:00 PM following a brief welcome. The radio play is approximately 60 minutes, followed by an open forum with John de Lancie and Kristin Tregar. Guests are welcome to stick around until we close up at 9:00 PM.

All proceeds support California Freethought Day, a non-profit organization that celebrates the separation of church and state, scientific achievement, civic engagement, social justice, and free speech.
