3 Best Performing Arts in Sacramento and the Gold Country, California

The long-running B Street Theatre—known for well-staged comedies, dramas, the occasional farce, and productions for children—is the resident company at this industrial-suave performing arts center. The two theaters, plus three rehearsal spaces for workshop productions, also present musicians, solo acts, and speakers.

This group presents shows like Hamilton, Annie, and Les Misérables at two Downtown venues.

It's worth peeking inside the Crest even if you don't catch a show, just to see the foyer's swirling art deco design or dine at the Empress Tavern. The theater's a beloved venue for classic and art-house films, concerts, and other events.
