Upcoming season at Sacramento Theatre Company

Announcement from Sacramento Theatre Company

STC BRINGS BACK MUSICAL THEATRE AND ITS MOST POPULAR PRODUCTIONS FOR 2009-2010. Tribute to Country-Western singer Patsy Cline and the return of Matt K. Miller in "Fully Committed."

After a very challenging 2008-2009 season, STC is committed to present a season of laughter, music and dance which includes many of their very popular hit shows like "Fully Committed," featuring the return of Matt K. Miller as an out-of work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan’s number-one restaurant. Fully Committed was last seen at STC in 2002, and ran for eight SOLD OUT WEEKS before it closed.

STC will also bring back "Always…Patsy Cline," based on the true story of Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk. The musical play, complete with a live band, down home country humor and even some audience participation, includes many of Pasty’s unforgettable hits such as "Crazy," "I Fall to Pieces," and "Walking After Midnight." STC’s run of "Always…Patsy Cline" was such a huge hit back in 1998, the theatre took it on tour to Southern California.

Another hit for STC was an exquisitely written tale chronicling the arranged marriage of an Indian-born woman who moves to America with her husband. "Arranged Marriage" was wildly popular for STC in 2004 and comes back in this elaborate production with gorgeous music and a chorus of dancers.

The season begins with the highly anticipated “Noises Off,” which STC had to postpone due to budget cuts, but is committed to presenting to Sacramento audiences. "This past year's economic crisis was difficult not only for STC, but for the entire city, region, state and nation. We learned a great deal about implementing cost cutting measures which will ensure a stronger future for the theatre,” says Producing Artistic Director Peggy Shannon.

The 2009-2010 season also includes several other productions never seen before at STC, including the New York Times bestseller and Emmy-winning TV film, "Tuesdays With Morrie" as well as one of the most successful new musicals in America last year, "Black Pearl Sings." STC proudly continues its commitment to present August Wilson’s 10-play Pittsburgh Cycle with a staged reading of "Joe Turner's Come & Gone." STC will also bring back "Cinderella" during the holidays, one of their most popular productions ever.
