The late Ray Bradbury wrote the classic sci-fi drama "Mars is Heaven" in 1947 as a short story for a magazine he edited. He later adapted it for radio in 1954, and then in 1992, set it for television. This exciting tale about the first manned spacecraft to land on the "red planet" still holds its relevance through the ages of human imagining. Bradbury's philosophy viewed the future of space travel with awe and fear. In this production, we search the face of Mars to see if there are beings hidden among the craters, and if so, are they friendly or not? California Stage presents this work tonight, August 22, 2012 to commemorate Ray Bradbury's first birthday away from this planet.

California Stage of Sacramento will be presenting the Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill musical, The Threepenny Opera, begining February 5th. This classic show tells the story of what happens when the banks get richer and the poor get poorer. The musical incorporates the tale of the doomed love affair of Mac Heath, London's reining thief, and Polly Peachum, the deceptively sweet daughter of a successful businessman who specializes in human misery and controls the city's beggars. Based loosely on John Gay's much earlier Beggars' Opera, it is filled with betrayals, schemes, revenge, reversals of fortune, and Weill's famously dissonant score.
