B Street Theatre was conceived by actor Timothy Busfield as a touring theater for children more than 25 years ago, and has managed to stay in touch with its origins delighting young audiences through B Street’s Family Series, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The series has grown from humble beginnings since Busfield, along with his brother Buck Busfield, transformed an abandoned warehouse in Sacramento into a theater company.
Over the years, kids on chaperoned school field trips have squeezed onto wooden benches while actors thrilled them by tramping the aisles, close enough to touch, sometimes singing and sometimes shouting, calling on them to join in on an imaginative journey. B Street has brought to life classic stories like “Frog and Toad,” “Junie B. Jones” and “Winnie the Pooh,” as well as original plays and holiday classics such as “A Christmas Carol.”
