Pride & Prejudice at Performing Arts Center Auditorium at Sacramento City College



When Jane Austen created the aloof, arrogant Mr. Darcy, she could hardly have imagined she was dreaming up one of the most eligible bachelors of the next few centuries. Despite his irritating superiority complex, Fitzwilliam Darcy's ability to listen and change his ways to win over the woman he loves have captured hearts for more than 200 years. It doesn't hurt that his match in Pride and Prejudice is the spirited, clever Elizabeth Bennett. With her intelligence, beauty, loyalty and kindness, she's got it all. Despite all that, her pride could prevent her from finding true love (and financial security) with the countryside's most sought-after single gentleman. City Theatre's delightfully romantic adaptation of one of the great love stories in literature will whisk you away from Sacramento to the English countryside, leaving you starry-eyed and sighing all the way home.

Sac, and other venues, Two weeks before the mast program: Tall ships


Our Two Weeks Before the Mast program is an opportunity to experience the life of a tall ship sailor. For two weeks, you’ll live aboard one of our vessels learning the basics of knots, sail theory, traditional and modern maintenance skills, and maritime history.
No two experiences are the same. To read about past volunteers’ experiences in this unique program, click here, watch the trailer for the documentary The Passage, and check out  Baggy Wrinkles, a series of comics created by tall ship sailor Lucy Bellwood.
