Sierra Repertory Theatre - Professional Theatre in California's Mother Lode
Description
Sierra Repertory Theatre is a growing professional nonprofit theater located in California's beautiful Sierra Nevada Foothills. Now in its 27th season, SRT remains focused on its original mission: to present our audiences with a broad range of theatrical literature at the highest production quality possible; to pay artists and staff a living wage and to make a vibrant contribution to our community's economy, culture and spirit.
This commitment started when SRT's five young founders first converted a tin warehouse into a rustic 99-seat theater. Their dream was to establish a professional performing arts center in this rural setting, and to draw both professional artists and audiences by the level of art created here. Now 27 years later, their shoestring venture has blossomed into a professional arts organization impressive for a rural area. Sierra Rep consistently earns ovations from audiences and the press, and top ratings for artistic and management excellence from the California Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. SRT now presents 10 main-stage shows per year at two locations - our original East Sonora theater and the Fallon House Theatre in Columbia State Historic Park. We have a staff of 30, employ 200 artists per year, and hold a contract with Actors Equity Association. SRT plays to an audience of more than 65,000 people per year, more than half of who travel an hour or more to our performances. We provide a year-round draw for visitors and make our community a more vibrant place to live. We enjoy strong community support with 2400 season subscribers, more than 1000 donors and hundreds of volunteers who help our professional artists and staff with sets, costumes, box office work and special events. To keep theater accessible to our entire community, we offer student and senior discounts, group rates, and low-cost tickets for school groups and half-price rush tickets. We also hold benefit previews and special events that raise thousands of dollars for community and educational groups.
Whether presenting world classics, contemporary favorites or more adventurous works, SRT's goal remains to present the highest quality productions possible and to demonstrate live theater's unique power to enlighten, inspire and entertain.
