Celebration: The forgotten musical by the creators of The Fantasticks. Words by Tom Jones, Music by Harvey Schmidt
New Helvetia Theatre invites you to Celebration. This semi-staged reading of Celebration will feature Kiera O'Neil* (Junie B. Jones, The Lucille Lortel), Bradford Anderson* (General Hospital), and Rick Kleber* (B Street Theatre) with Rosemary Babich, Lauren Parker, Julie Soto, Josh Brown, Lafras le Roux, Ryan Warren, Erin Island,* Connor Mickiewicz,* and Graham Sobelman. (* Appearing courtesy of Actors' Equity Association.)
New Helvetia Theatre, founded by artistic director Connor Mickiewicz, seeks to bring theatre relevant to Sacramento - hence the reason the theatre is named after John Sutter's first settlement, Nueva Helvetia. The hope for New Helvetia Theatre is to build and educate a new generation of theatre-goers by rediscovering forgotten gems of the American Musical while re-examining classic musicals and plays.
A gala celebration will be held in advance of the play beginning at 6:30 p.m. Enjoy food and beverages from local restaurants, vineyards and breweries, as well as an opportunity to meet and greet some of the actors. Gala reception tickets are available for $50 and general seating tickets are $25.
Doors open at 6:30 for the reception and at 7:30 for other ticket holders. The event starts at 8:00 P.M. Tickets are $50 for floor seats with reception or $25 for upper section (no reception)tickets. Seats are general admission to each section. ON SALE NOW tickets.com, Crest box office, 1-800-225-2277, and outlets.
