A tradition since 1951, Sacramento's Music Circus has always
been theater in the round in a tent. Audiences have sweltered on
100-plus evenings, fans waving constantly. There were tent poles
with limited vision behind them and impossible canvas seats. Still,
the company brings the best actors from all over and the youngsters
in the chorus are always full of energy. The musical productions
are always good.
The productions are still good this year, and still in the
round, but everything else has changed. The Wells Fargo Pavilion is
still technically a tent because it's made of fabric, but unlike
tents past, this is a year-round venue. There are decent seats, and
no bad views in the house. Mostly, it's AIR-CONDITIONED!!
In the winter, Sacramento Theater Company, which shares the
area, produces more serious plays and children's theater.
