PLAY IT STRAIGHT to be Presented at City Theatre in February

Sacramento City College's City Theatre will bring a play to the Art Court Theatre written by local playwrights, Play It Straight. The comedy-filled production opens Thursday, February 27, and plays through Sunday, March 16. Performances are February 27, 28, March 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14 and 15 at 7:30 pm; and March 3, 11, and 16 at 2:00 pm.

Drama teacher Mr. Ross finds himself on the front line of the culture wars, as he, his students, and school administrators grapple with a new district mandate which requires the school to ‘out’ a gay student to her conservative Christian father. Can Ross walk the ethical tightrope between supporting his students, and keeping his job?

Play It Straight, written by Richard Winters, Kerri Yund, and Gary Wright, and directed by Adrienne Sher, plays from February 27 through March 16, 2025 at the Art Court Theatre at Sacramento City College.
