About True West

A fight is brewin’ at mom’s house. Austin is on the brink of something big. He has secured a Hollywood deal for his latest film script.  Lee is a bum: a free agent. He’s got nothing to his name except a six pack and a criminal record. They’re brothers but they are as different as day and night. In this deliciously dark play of duality, Sam Shepard takes a long, hard look at America, from the romanticized West to the tranquility of picket-fenced suburbia.

About Capital Stage

Capital  Stage was formed out of a passionate belief that live theatre provides, as  Oscar Wilde put it, "...the most immediate way in which a human being can  share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being."  Our productions explore the human condition in  relation to society and celebrate the participatory process of theatre as equal  parts story, performer and live audience. We do this through the creation and  interpretation of critically acclaimed plays, as well as bold new works, that  engage the mind and soul. We produce fully mounted plays with professional  actors; perform lively staged readings; partner with other nonprofits in our  community; offer educational and outreach programs; and seek diversity among  our artists and our productions.

In 2006, after only one year of producing as the  newly formed Capital Stage, the critics of the Sacramento News & Review  voted us the "Best Professional Theatre" in the greater Sacramento region.  Since  then, Capital Stage continues to receive praise for "…bringing an  edgier, urban sophistication to professional theatre...." (Sacramento Bee).  In 2008, the Arts & Business Council  recognized Capital Stage with the "Arts  Management Excellence" award.  That same year, our Founding  Artistic Director, Stephanie Gularte, was selected as one Sacramento Magazine's  "40 Under 40" people to watch for "giving a shot in  the arm to local theatre."  In 2010, the Sacramento  News & Review named Capital Stage “the best of the best” for an unbroken history of picking great plays for great directors,  casting them well and letting the show go on from there.”
