The Sierra Stages 2012 Season Pass is priced at only $50, and allows the season pass holder to select any performance of each production with general admission seating. For an additional $25, theatregoers may become Sierra Stages Members and choose reserved seating at each show.

Sierra Stages is a nonprofit community theatre based in Western Nevada County with a mission to provide quality productions that are affordable and accessible to everyone. Since its start three years ago, Sierra Stages has presented twelve plays and musicals and received three Elly Awards and thirteen Elly Award nominations.

Sierra Stages performs at various local venues, including the Nevada Theatre and Miners Foundry Cultural Center in Nevada City and Off Center Stage and The Center for the Arts in Grass Valley.

The 2012 Season opens with Arthur Miller’s drama “Death of a Salesman” from January 25-February 12 at the Nevada Theatre in Nevada City.

Exploring the gap between fathers and sons, the tragedy of misplaced ambitions, and the rightful definition of the American dream itself, “Death of a Salesman” speaks of human dilemmas and human truths. Jeffrey Mason directs the powerful, heart-rending drama that stands unparalleled in American theatre. Elly Award-winning local actor, Robert Rossman, plays Willy Loman, and heads a cast of twelve of Nevada County’s finest actors.

From July 14-August 4, Sierra Stages presents Meredith Willson’s classic American musical “The Music Man” at the Nevada Theatre. One of the greatest musicals of all time, “The Music Man” is a valentine to small- town America and the perfect summertime entertainment.

Rounding out the 2012 Season is Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s powerful musical “Assassins” at the Off Center Stage in Grass Valley from October 25-November 17. “Assassins” is a haunting, often darkly funny musical which features the stories of nine men and women who have assassinated Presidents of the United States… or tried to.

Through their eyes we see the hopelessness of their quests for fame or fortune or redemption, and catch a harrowing glimpse at the dark side of the American dream.

The Sierra Stages 2012 Season Pass may be purchased now through January 25 online at www.SierraStages.org or by calling Sierra Stages at 530-346-3210.
