On Stage

We are excited to perform in the Art Court Theatre this summer for you during our 60th Anniversary. We hope you will join us!

Twelfth Night, or What You Will

by William Shakespeare

Directed by Christine Nicholson & Lori Ann DeLappe-Grondin

“If music be the food of love, play on.” Duke Orsino

Set in 1966 Philadelphia, this wicked reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy pulses with the rhythm of the Northeast music scene. Twelfth Night spins a tale of mistaken identities, love triangles, and musical mischief, all wrapped in the vibrant energy of girl‑group harmonies and Chicago‑style brass. Celebrate sixty years of Shakespearean magic with a production that’s bold, joyful, and irresistibly alive.

Celebrate with us: Join us on July 3 for a celebratory reception following the performance in the Daubert Courtyard for the Arts.

Performance Dates: July 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, & 26

Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays: Performance at 7:30 pm

Sundays: Performances at 2:00 pm

Location: Art Court Theatre, Sacramento City College, located closest to 12th Ave. & Parking Lot K.

Malvolio’s Revenge – A Staged Reading

Backstage hums with the jittery electricity of a preview performance—costumes half‑buttoned, props scattered like confetti, actors murmuring lines to the walls. In the middle of it all stands Reggie, veteran of many a Twelfth Night and perpetual sufferer of Malvolio’s misfortunes. He’s endured the snickers, the taunts, the yellow‑stocking humiliation more times than he can count, and tonight he’s decided he’s had enough.

If Maria is the architect of Malvolio’s torment onstage, then her actress—sharp‑witted, unflappable, and always ready with a backstage quip—has become Reggie’s target for a little “artistic reciprocity.” Nothing cruel, nothing harmful. Just a perfectly timed, perfectly executed prank to even the cosmic scales of Shakespearean justice.

Any coincidences between the actors who play these roles in our current production and the characters who play those roles in this fictional production are meaningless.

Performance Dates: July 12 & 19, 2026

Sundays: Performance at 7:00 pm

Location: Art Court Theatre, Sacramento City College, located closest to 12th Ave. & Parking Lot K.

Your visit: The theatre temperatures can vary as we have larger audiences – with this in mind, it is recommended that you bring a light jacket just in case it gets too cold, or a hand fan (no electric devices) to cool if it is too warm. We do not have direct control over the system, and a call-in may not always solve it in time. Doors and the house open 30 minutes before the curtain.
