Cinnabar Theater to Present I AM MY OWN WIFE

Building on its recent success, Cinnabar Theater in Petaluma has expanded its season of professional shows to include a sixth production: in February, Sonoma County's beloved professional theater presents I Am My Own Wife for six performances only. Two-thirds of seats have already been sold, so get tickets soon! This limited run begins Friday, February 6 and ends Sunday, February 15.

I Am My Own Wife burst onto Broadway in 2004 and won every major honor, including the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play. Now, in a tour de force performance, Steven Abbott portrays all 36 characters in this astonishing solo show. Directed by Jennifer King, I Am My Own Wife is generously underwritten by Bergin Glass Impressions, an industry leader in elegant etching and screen-printed labeling for wine bottles.

"Experience the incredible tale of a 'deviant' German who survived - even thrived - despite the Nazi and Communist regimes," said Artistic Director Elly Lichenstein. "It's a compelling and entirely true story that celebrates resilience and pride."

Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for ages 21 and under, with special $9 seats on February 6 for junior-high and high-school students. Reserve seats online at any time by visiting cinnabartheater.org, or call the box office at 707-763-8920 between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays. Tickets may also be available at the door, but reservations are recommended as Cinnabar's shows often sell out.

Every year, Cinnabar Theater produces a thrilling mix of plays, musicals, operas, and concerts in a remarkable range of genres. Cinnabar's Young Rep offers extensive activities for local youth, and the Cinnabar Singers welcome anyone who wants to be part of a chorus. All these events take place in the iconic red schoolhouse perched atop a grassy hill on the outskirts of Petaluma.

Audiences have flocked to performances in this intimate setting since 1972, when Marvin and Jan Klebe established an arts center for the community. Along with their sons, they transformed a charming 1908 schoolhouse into a jewel-box theater that has hosted successful shows for four decades. Now Cinnabar is presenting another year of lively performances for its loyal audience.

Cinnabar Theater is located at 3333 Petaluma Boulevard North, just off Highway 101 and only minutes from historic downtown Petaluma. There's ample parking up on the hill... and a friendly herd of goats grazing in the neighboring field. For more information, or to purchase tickets, call 707-763-8920 or visit cinnabartheater.org.
