Call (916) 782-1777 for reservations and to find out which show is performing on which dates. Handicapped accessible.

Romeo and Juliet is probably the most famous of Shakespeare's tragedies. A cautionary tale to parents, itıs the story of two young people who discover they are attracted to each other, in spite of their feuding families. Overwhelmed with their "forbidden" love, they are driven to desperate measures and a deeply tragic end.

The Merry Wives of Windsor is a celebration of marriage and the ridiculous things people do to get there, or avoiding getting there. The unscrupulous Falstaff is out to seduce a set of moneyed women, but they are wise to his plans. Instead they decide to turn the tables on the old conniver. Meanwhile, young love tries to ignite in a hilarious sea of misunderstandings, double-crosses, and sneaky pages.
