Megan Hilty & More Set for Transcendence Theatre Company's 2015 Season

Transcendence Theatre Company announced their 2015 season of spectacular outdoor Broadway concerts in Sonoma Wine Country running June 19 through September 13 featuring Broadway Under the Stars in Jack London State Historic Park and the Transcendence Artist Series in various locations throughout Sonoma Valley. Transcendence Theatre Company, named by USA Today's 10BEST as the #2 "Outdoor Concert Venue You Shouldn't Miss" in the United States, was chosen as "Theater of the Year" for the second consecutive year by Broadway World San Francisco.

Transcendence's Broadway Under the Stars is an award-winning series of Broadway-inspired concerts featuring performers from Los Angeles - artists who come to the Sonoma stage directly from recent Broadway appearances. More than a standard musical revue, each show weaves well-known Broadway and popular songs into a spectacular themed performance in the open-air 150-year-old Winery Ruins at Jack London State Historic Park.

In addition to their Broadway Under the Stars concerts, Transcendence Theatre Company presents Transcendence Artist Series, a collection of one and two night concerts featuring individual artists in remarkably stunning settings throughout Sonoma Wine Country. From hilltops and vineyards to the Jack London Park Winery Ruins, these intimate performance experiences shine the spotlight on legends such as Ben Vereen to popular Broadway stars like Sutton Foster and current Broadway artists, as well as featuring new works under development by Transcendence Theatre Company.

All events begin with picnicking amidst scenic vineyard settings - food trucks or gourmet picnic baskets spread out, local wineries pouring and pre-show music casting a magical spell of communal festivity and a summer party. Sunset heralds the start of the show and the stage begins to sparkle as dusk descends and the Broadway stars sing and dance under a starlit nighttime sky.

Amy Miller, Artisic Director for Transcendence Theatre Company says: "We are thrilled to present our fourth season of programming to our incredible audiences. In addition to an expanded season with more performances than ever, we are excited to bring back many of our exceptionally talented artists, as well as introduce the Bay Area community to new artists and work at the forefront of the national theatrical dialogue. It's going to be a fantastic summer and we thank our Transcendence Family of donors, sponsors and patrons for continuing to make it a reality."
