My new favorite local theater! We are subscribers and love every production over the past year and excited about the 2025 season! Classy, affordable, great acting, great seats, full bar (with real glasses) special events and freebies to subscribers. There is a family series and music venues as well. Two restaurants next door, make it a wonderful day or evening experience you don't want to miss!

State-of-the-art theatre building, 3 stages/ auditoriums, performances run afternoons & nightly, year 'round, quality live entertainment for the whole family. Live stage plays, children's theater, also musical artists of all genres 🎭 🎶🎼🎵💎👑 We highly recommend The Sofia. Good refreshment bar on main floor, and the new Burch bar upstairs. 🥂🍷🍺🍹

First time to visit the Sofia. We came to see In a Nutshell (a Moth-centric story telling event). It was raining out when we arrived and we were glad to get into the parking garage which is part of the same block. But, you do have to exit the garage (as far as I know) to get to the front door of the theater. Very nice and helpful staff checked us in. It was general seating and we actually landed a couple really great seats. The theater is quite cozy, the vibe is relaxed, and there is not a bad seat in the house. They do serve cocktails and other drinks in the lobby which you can take to your seat as well. I highly recommend going to one or more of the In a Nutshell events. They have excellent story tellers and it is just an all around good evening to see and hear the experiences of others lives.

B Street theater brings in an incredibly talented array of musicians. I love how great bands sound on stage, and truly love the first come first served open seating. The seats are comfortable and even have a cup holder ! So grab a beer, wine or signature cocktail and sit back and relax!

I love my subscription to the B Street Theater. There is something special about live theater, and the productions at this theater are top notch. The plays are generally new and often very funny. The value is great. I look forward to this fun date night every 6 weeks.

Very eclectic offering, plays for adults, plays for children, music. Very nice and responsive staff willing to work miracles to make scheduling a seat possible. Every seat is a good seat.
Just watched "What the Constitution means to me" very dramatic and moving.

B Street is a wonderful place to stage and see theater.

However, why would they even produce White Chip?

White Chip does not meet standards of what a play is: a play poses and answers a driving question, a play has actable moments, a play draws an audience in to do its own emotional work to join with the characters in some fundamental catharsis.

Nor is White Chip even a good story. In a good story, the teller must make every word deliberate to build his "so what?"

Maybe it's a sermon. After all, the main character tells us everything you need to see and do to find redemption.

Maybe the author does have a story to tell, but I suspect that he is still too close to recovery to get the needed distance to do more than regurgitate his AA story. Either he doesn't have the skill or the courage to really reveal anything more than the superficial about being a drunk. He never really grapples with the white chip really is all about.

And, structurally, why even bother with additional characters who have no more depth than stick puppets.

I worry that the production team gets hypnotized or falls in love with a particular issue or topic and forgets that the fundamentals must be in place for excellence. Get rigorous! Sacramento deserves better.

Excellent comfortable venue with great shows and sound. Seats are laid out nicely with each row raised enough for your view of stage to not be obstructed by someone's head in front of you!
