Local financial planning firm invests in the arts

Kipp Financial Group continues to support two of the most prominent art organizations in Ventura – the Ventura Music Festival and Rubicon Theatre

As a third generation resident of Ventura, Stephen J. Kipp is invested in his community and dedicated to preserving local arts throughout Ventura County, including sponsorships of the Rubicon Theatre, and the Ventura Music Festival and its Artistic Director Nuvi Mehta, among others.

"Community service, gift-giving, monetary contributions and support of the local arts are just a few key components when we help our clients with financial planning," Kipp said. "I believe this commitment to the community is what sets us apart…we not only practice our commitment, we encourage others to consider this type of giving as well."

Two organizations Kipp holds dear have partnered to bring the Tony Award-winning musical "Fiddler on the Roof" to the Rubicon Theatre, with special guest Nuvi Mehta as "The Fiddler," March 21-April 26.

"Stephen is one of those rare individuals who embrace the arts with all of his soul," Mehta said. "He truly believes in fostering the arts and sharing these wonderful experiences with others. I am grateful for his support not only of myself, but for all of the artists who long for the stage and whose dream it is to live their passion through art and music."

The Rubicon Theatre´s "Fiddler on the Roof" is directed by Rubicon Theatre Company co-founder James O´Neil with musical direction by Lloyd Cooper. The play tells the story of Tevye, a Jewish milkman coping with day-to-day "shtetl" life, Jewish traditions and the women in his life in pre-Revolutionary Russia.

Tickets are available at: rubicontheatre.org or (805) 667-2900.
