Capital Stage Company Reviews

Wonderful, small theater. Great view from any angle.Great patio area.

The most amazing theater company in Sacramento. Their plays make you really think about them after the show. I still mull over a play several weeks after I've seen it. I have recommended this theater company for years and everyone who goes there really loves it.

Fantastic productions, very close to the stage, intimate theater experience.

Small theatre (about 100 seats) that presents interesting plays. They are just finishing up Vietgone. In nice weather they have a patio available for patrons before the production and at intermission. Friendly, welcoming.

Its easily to be missed if you never been to this place. But I found it because of the adress 23 and j street. Outside doesn't look all glam but the show is what's important.
.
We circled around the neighborhood for parking. We finally found one on a Sunday evening.
.
So we went inside, we got our tickets from the front desk. Then we head on into the theater.
.
The show I watched was called viet gone, so the play has minimal props and has a good story line.
.
We had about 4 rows of seats maybe 30 to 40 seats per row and they aren't that spacy so you might rub legs and elbows with others.
.
Bring a coat because it might be chilly in the middle of the show or end of the show. It might be hot in the beginning because everyone is hustling and bustling trying to get to their seats and etc. I was warm the whole time because I get hot easily.
.
The sound system was ok nothing spectacular but put on a good show or play when music or noise is needed for the background.
.
There was intermission where we can grab snack and alcohol. I took a quick glance and the drinks were quite pricey like maybe 9 bucks for wine if I saw correctly but not too sure.
.
Restroom had 2 urinals and one inside sit down fyi if you need to go to the restroom so during intermission it was busy and line out the door for men and women.
.
Overall I had a good time. A new experience. A new place. And watched a good play on a Sunday evening is a fun event. Thanks for reading and let me know where you like to watch a play, show, and etc in what theater or location?

Our friends introduced us. We've enjoyed two shows this season. Park for $6 cash with exact amount across the street. Yes, the payment board is super old school, but they check. Arrive early for drinks and snacks. It gets cold in the theater, so if you are thin skinned like me, bring a light sweater. Great productions!!

Amazing sets. Engaging plays. Excellent venue. Really nice and helpful box office staff.

We received tickets for Christmas went with the family great intimate show. small venue you can reach out and touch actors (don't do that please) good time.

Always great seeing shows at Capstage. It truly is a professional theater company from set and lighting design through sound, costumes, cast and crew.

Don't miss "Miss Bennet Christmas at Pemberly" fantastic show!!!

This was the best Christmas play ever. It felt as though we were staying at Pemberly and that Jane Austen, herself had written the play. Kudos!

Daring little theater where you are right in the action.

Vietgone was one of the best small theatre plays I've seen.

Beautiful venue, friendly staff. Bring a jacket it can get chilly!

Capital Stage is a small venue, so every seat is a great seat. There is wine, and I think beer, and snacks to purchase. A wonderful outside area to sit and chat with other patrons, and more than likely the owner or cast will be out there to answer any questions, or to just shoot the breeze before the show.

It's The Berkeley Rep of Sacramento, but even better

Great play. Nice cozy venue that puts you up close to the cast.
We felt like we were part of the story.
My grand daughter first time also at this venue. She loved it so much more.

Superb theater, that puts on original and provocative productions that are wonderfully entertaining and stimulating.

Tonight I saw Stephen Karam's "The Humans," my favorite of the 4 (or 5) plays I've seen there over the past year. Everything I've seen (The Wolves, Sweat, Vietgone, Between Riverside & Crazy,) has been consistently high quality. I think any seat in the house is good (it's a small house). Staff has always been helpful when there have been issues (like, once when the theatre AC was up too high they moderated it as soon as the problem was flagged). Great little playhouse.

A new addition for Austenphiles and can be done year round as Christmas is a peripheral subject. Very Upstairs Downstairs with an emphasis on standing up for what you deserve. Definitely recommend.

I love the relaxed decor of this theatre. The stage is so close to house so you may feel a bit immersed in the play.

A fantastic theater and a real asset to the community.

Our favorite Sacramento theater company. Thought provoking productions in an intimate space Midtown.

Nice setting for a relatively small theater and there is a good view from every seat. The theatre has a theme for every production season. Allow yourself enough time to find parking.

Really cool place. Looking for a great date night. Well, You just found it. Seriously, whether you're married or on a first date. It's a winner.

High quality, thought provoking theater. Intimate setting. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, a happy hour that truly makes you happy, solid service and an atmosphere that started poppjn around 6 made for a great place to hang out. Came to visit some friends in. Sacramento and they suggested we go here. Excellent cboice. Got a bunch of appetizers and took advantage of the happy hour drinks.

Christmas show was wonderful! The Wickhams: Christmas At Pemberley is a must see.

Cozy little theater and the acting was the best I've seen in a long time. I saw the Christmas play. Forgot the name but it was wonderful!!!

They always have very thought-provoking plays. It's a smaller, intimate setting, and the casts are always amazing.

"The Other Place" starring Ms. Parrett was one of the finest pieces of theater I've seen in Sacramento. The other actors were excellent as well. The subject matter is real and timely. Something anyone one of us may have to face in our lifetimes.

This is a small intimate theater; the audience is not far from the action. it s size and seating is very similar to the Pollock Stage at The Sacramento Theater Company. There is a comfortable outdoor seating area (with heaters for the cold weather) coffee, tea, wine, sweets and for meeting and conversation pre and post shows.
I have been thrilled by the plays I have seen. Sweat was the most moving, relevant, dynamic play I have EVER seen. Viet Gone was astonishing and eyeopening. The South Vietnamese thank our veterans for fighting with them; our involvement was not unnoticed or unappreciated. The current show, The Other Place, is riveting.
A smart, acerbic, scientist and mother is giving a sales presentation on a drug she developed against dementia. In the audience she is distracted by a woman in a yellow bikini. As it s an all male audience, she comments that she s not the only one distracted.
As the play continues we learn her daughter married her much older research assistant. They have two children. She is arranging a family visit to the beach house she owns with her husband. She believes her oncologist husband is having an affair and is going to divorce her.
We then learn the daughter ran away and was killed; the research assistant husband committed suicide years ago; there are no grandchildren; the beach house was sold and her husband is not having an affair. What is going on? It s a conundrum and the solution is in the play. We, the audience must sift the conflicting information to arrive at the truth. It is well worth seeing.

This little theater is performing some of the nation's best plays (Pulitzer Prize nominated and wining). The cast and production quality is professional, yet very intimate. Definitely one is Sacramento's best kept secrets!

Excellent acting. Directed/written in a rapid manner. Dark subject matter. Very well done!

very fine small venue for professional theater. their choice of plays sometimes is not to my taste.

Love this place! Became a subscriber last year after watching my first play. Great for date nights!

Intimate theater experience. Our particular show featured a great script and outstanding ensemble cast.

I love going to Capital Stage. The layout of the lobby is very nice. You can sit inside or outside on the patio. They have a lot of different sodas, wine and beer. Also, they have a great variety of snacks.
The layout of the theatre is awesome!!!! The plays and actors are top notch!!!! The ticket prices are very fair. Definitely recommend them. You won't be disappointed!!!!

Continuously amaze and entertain us. The plays are amazing and its so personal, you'll feel they perform just for you.

Delightful, fast-paced, well acted. This is a wonderful Christmas play to be enjoyed by all but particularly by Jane Austen fans with its references to Pride and Prejudice. Amusing, light entertainment.

Great production. Issues timely, very relevant with current political climate.

Thoroughly enjoyed Christmas at Pemberly! I look forward to catching other plays a capital stage company! They have a really cool Patio where you can enjoy a glass of wine!

New favorite place for theatre! Great plays and actors!

Small stage with unique shows and terrific acting. A hidden gem of Sacramento's arts scene.

Saw an outstanding play there. "Between Riverside and Crazy". The company and cast were amazing. A nice space and comfortable area for pre play and intermission drinks.

The talent and production quality is always first-class. Even plays that I didn't think I would like turned into an enjoyable experience here.

CapStage is amazing and consistently produces high quality, entertaining, thought provoking performances. Sacramento is a better place to live because they are here.

High quality performance is a cozy venue. We had the pleasure of being able to see Christmas at the Wickhams due to extended performance dates. What a pleasure. Our family visiting from Boston thoroughly enjoyed the play as well! We are looking forward to returning in the future.

I've been there 3 times this year and each play was excellent.

First play at Capital Stage for our anniversary. This is a very intimate experience! There are only 3-4 rows of seats and the stage comes right up to the front row.

It was a neat experience since you can see the facial expressions of the actors and the acting was very entertaining.

I LOVE this little stage I have been going since I saw SWEAT last year just happen too come across Capital Stage walking downtown it is A AWSOME pic for entertainment

Great plays, small intimate environment, some of the best plays I have seen have in Sac

Small venue, every seat in the house is a good seat. Good casting and performance the time I went.

Small intimate theatre.
The play (The Other Place) I saw was really good with great acting.
Lovely patio in the back.

This company does some of the best theatre in town. Great atmosphere!

Capital Stage was a true delight! The facility is warm and cozy and a wonderful venue for small plays. The shows there are high quality and high energy. I would highly recommend Capital Stage if you're interested in smart edgy theater productions.

Superb play. I told the director that it passed my criteria for a great play. He asked me what my criteria were, and I replied that it brought tears to my eyes. Tonight was a dress rehearsal and it was flawless. Go see it.
