The Moors
by Jen Silverman
directed by John Ficarra
Two strange sisters. A slightly sinister maid. A melancholy mastiff and an injured moorhen. All live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. When a hapless governess arrives, their fates follow a dark and dangerous path. This “Bronte with a modern twist” is a deviously dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility.

Guys and Dolls
music & lyrics by Frank Loesser
book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows

In 1930s New York, gamblers and evangelists roll the dice on love and life in this iconic American musical. Overflowing with songbook classics such as Lucky be a Lady, If I Were a Bell, and Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat, Guys and Dolls is a rollicking celebration of mismatched lovers and small-time hucksters.

The Drowning Girls
by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson & Daniela Vlaskalic
directed by Sharon Winegar
Mayhem and misogyny lead to murder in this fierce play based on a true-life English crime story. Three women play all of the characters including the eponymous drowning girls—all married to the same man, all meeting the same fate. This haunting ghost story is a fascinating exploration of marriage and manipulation in Victorian England.

2023 Season Pass Details
The Sierra Stages 2023 Season Pass includes one (1) ticket to each of the three (3) shows in our 15th Season. Purchasing your Season Pass ONLINE is relatively straightforward: Just click on the "Purchase Your 2023 Season Pass here" button! If you prefer to order your Season Pass over the phone or pay for your Season Pass by check, please call us at 530.346.3210 or email us at reservations@SierraStages.org, and we will contact you as soon as we can.
Seating is RESERVED at the Nevada Theatre for The Moors and Guys and Dolls, and seating is GENERAL ADMISSION at St. Joseph's Cultural Center for The Drowning Girls. We have a flexible ticket exchange policy for Season Pass holders: If your plans change, you may exchange your tickets for another performance of the same show at least 24 hours in advance of the performance for which you hold tickets.
The Season Pass price of $95 represents a savings of $5 as compared to purchasing individual tickets in the front section of the Nevada Theatre (for The Moors and Guys and Dolls). Purchasing individual tickets to each show for a preview or seats in the rear section of the Nevada Theatre will cost less than a Season Pass, but you will need to wait for individual tickets to go on sale (approximately 6 weeks before each show).
Season Passes are on sale through March 15, 2023.
Season Pass sales are final. Shows, performance dates, and venues are subject to change.
