Petaluma's premier theater company, Cinnabar Theater, under the leadership of Artistic Director Nathan Cummings and Executive Director Diane Dragone, is proud to announce their 2022/2023 season lineup, celebrating their 50th anniversary.
As Cinnabar Theater celebrates their 50th season, they are thrilled to present a series of shows that reflects their passion for bringing the arts to the Petaluma community and beyond. Cinnabar Theater's upcoming plays and musicals tell stories through new perspectives and imaginative theater-specific storytelling devices that will transport their audiences across time and space! From the auditorium of a school's spelling competition to exploration on the high seas, our season will explore the human conditions of competition, survival, love, family, adventure, and more.
After being separated for so long Cinnabar Theater is excited to open their doors to the community once again and connect with each other as they seek to enlighten and entertain. Here's to another 50 years!
They will open their 50th anniversary season with "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee", A Musical Comedy by Rachel Sheinkin and William Finn. September 9 - 25, 2022.
