Sierra Stages Community Theater Home

THEATER BY THE BOOK continues with
LETTICE and LOVAGE on June 19

What do you get when you take six plays that you wouldn't otherwise be able to produce, and assemble a seasoned director and cast together to perform the play for one night only? You get Theater by the Book -- a series of six informal play readings for the community co-presented by Sierra Stages and the Miners Foundry Cultural Center. The readings are FREE (with a $10 suggested donation). Each reading is on a Wednesday evening - doors open at 7 and the reading begins at 7:30. Join us for this unique, fun and interesting play reading series at the Miners Foundry.

Up next, on June 19, is LETTICE AND LOVAGE by Peter Shaffer.

LETTICE AND LOVAGE is directed by Jeffrey Mason. The cast includes Susan Mason, Lois Ewing, Tinley Ireland and Scott Ewing.

Join us for LETTICE AND LOVAGE on Wednesday June 19 at the Miners Foundry, 325 Spring Street, Nevada City.

Doors open at 7:00 and the reading will start at 7:30.

Refreshments will be available for purchase.

Admission to all the plays in the Theater by the Book series is FREE. (A $10 donation is suggested to cover costs, but no one will be turned away.)

Habitat for Humanity Benefit
Sunday June 9

Sierra Stages is again pleased and honored to collaborate with Nevada County Habitat for Humanity to present a benefit concert on Sunday June 9 at 3 PM at Peace Lutheran Church. The House I Dream of: A Broadway Revue to Benefit Home is special selection of theatre songs sung by members of the Sierra Stages company.

The House I Deam of: A Broadway Revue to Benefit Home is a follow-up to the successful benefit concert we performed four years ago for Habitat. In addition to some of our Broadway favorites, this time around members of the cast of AVENUE Q will preview a few songs from our summer show.

Mark your calendars now and watch for more information about this entertaining event. The concert is free, but it is a fundraising event for Habitat -- a very worthy cause!

CLOSER THAN EVER

An intimate musical about love, friendship, security, and happiness - holding onto those essentials in a world that seems to spin faster every day. The New York Times in 1989 described it as "one of the half-dozen finest American theater scores of the last decade.” This Off-Broadway classic was revived in 2012 and earned universal raves.
