'EDITH PIAF' and I AM MY OWN WIFE Extend at Cinnabar

Happy New Year! Cinnabar Theater, the beloved professional theater in Sonoma County, kicks off 2015 with two extended shows. Edith Piaf: Beneath Paris Skies made its world premiere on New Year's Eve and has proven so popular that it's added an extra week. Cinnabar's next show, I Am My Own Wife, won't even open until February 6 -- but tickets are selling so fast that it's been extended as well!

Don't miss these exciting shows:

Edith Piaf: Beneath Paris Skies -- Extended through January 25
Cinnabar commissioned this enchanting cabaret about the legendary chanteuse. The first seven performances sold out entirely! Four more performances are scheduled for the weekend of January 16-18, and new shows have been added on Friday, January 23 at 8 PM; Saturday, January 24 at 8 PM; and Sunday, January 25 at 2 PM. Generously underwritten by Michel Snethlage and Barbara Howell, this production features Julia Hathaway, Kevin Singer, Valentina Osinski, Michael Van Why, and Melissa Weaver alongside a fabulous five-piece band. Tickets are $35 for adults and $25 for ages 21 and under.

I Am My Own Wife -- Extended through February 22
Steven Abbott portrays all 36 characters in the astonishing solo show that won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play. Originally slated to run from February 6 through February 15, it has extended for two additional performances: Saturday, February 21 at 8 PM and Sunday, February 22 at 2 PM. Written by Doug Wright and directed by Jennifer King, I Am My Own Wife is generously underwritten by Bergin Glass Impressions. Tickets are $15 for youth and $25 for adults, with special $9 seats for junior-high and high-school students on February 6.

Reserve seats online at any time by visiting cinnabartheater.org, or call the box office at 707-763-8920 between 10 AM and 3 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.
