Capital Stage
You may know the Delta King Theatre as the theatre that produced the Sacramento premiere of the hit musical comedy I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, or as the company that recently mounted the first professional Shakespeare production in our capital city in over six years, or as Sacramento ’s newest professional theatre. We are all of these things, and with a new name and a new, not-for-profit status, we are emerging as a driving force in the building of live theatre in our great region.
Beginning July 1, 2005, we will become Capital Stage. Under the direction of Artistic Director Stephanie Gularte and Managing Director Peter Mohrmann, Capital Stage will continue to deliver quality, professional live theatre in the wonderfully intimate Delta King Theatre.

Our 2005-06 season is filled with five bold, funny, and heart-warming shows, including three Sacramento premieres and the return of a holiday favorite. We start the season in early October with the area premiere of Neal LaBute’s fast moving and thrilling piece of theatre, The Shape of Things. It's a play about relationships, art and friendship where nothing is quite what it seems. For the holiday season, we bring back Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol. Experience a journey that is at once thrilling, funny, irreverent, and ultimately, deeply moving. We start 2006 with Alan Ayckbourn’s farce, Relatively Speaking, where mistaken identities tumble upon each other and hilarious confusion reigns. Next up in March is our second Sacramento premiere with Richard Greenberg’s The Violet Hour, which the Chicago Sun-Times describes as, "Greenberg's luminous, mysterious, emotionally charming tragicomedy...is a wondrous piece of work." Our fifth show and third premiere is Humble Boy. Charlotte Jones’ play is a richly comic and moving story of one man’s search for unity in a chaotic world. And next summer, we end our season with Stones in His Pockets by Marie Jones. This hyperkinetic comedy satirically chronicles the making of a big-budget Hollywood movie in a provincial County Kerry village.
But first up, and back by popular demand, is I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. The musical hit returns for a two month run beginning July 9. So join us as we celebrate a summer of love and big changes aboard the Delta King with Capital Stage.
