We are a nationally recognized professional theatre company. As one of the oldest and largest arts institutions in the region, STC presents only the best classical and modern plays. From September to June, our theaters feature eight performances each week, for a total of more than 300 each year.

We Entertain, Educate, Inspire, and Enrich. Our award-winning productions, education, and outreach programs reach over 60,000 each year. There’s nothing else quite like great professional theatre!

The Mainstage seats 292 patrons in three sections with two aisles. Each seat offers audience members clear views and a “front row” feel. Acoustics are top-notch. Our spacious lobby offers fun food and a bar with a variety of fine wines and beverages. The Pollock Stage is an intimate 85-seat theatre featuring a number of new works and productions in development. With only three rows of seats, the audience feels a part of the action on stage.

Mission Statement

The Sacramento Theatre Company (“STC”) professionally produces contemporary and traditional theatrical works, provides rigorous and comprehensive training to young professionals and uses theatre as a tool for educational engagement. STC exists as an ongoing community service producing works that address issues that resonate with the many cultures and backgrounds that make up the Greater Sacramento region.

Sacramento Theatre Company History

In 1942 – in the midst of WWII – a group of committed Sacramento citizens were looking for ways to entertain the troops. Following a successful tour of local military bases, they formed the Sacramento Civic Repertory Theatre. On October 18, 1949, they expanded by opening the Eaglet Theatre, today known as the Sacramento Theatre Company Mainstage.
