Celebration of — and reflection on — history is prevalent at Sacramento stages this month, and I couldn’t be more giddy.
This month’s theater offerings come in a variety of flavors — from the classic presentation of “Romeo and Juliet,” the satirical look at musicals of yesteryear in “The Drowsy Chaperone” or stories of historical Black figures like in “Thurgood.” But they all hold to the common theme of tales rooted in the past. Audiences can see Shakespeare like he hasn’t been staged in hundreds of years, or see stories of Harriet Tubman that will reach thousands of local students.
There’s opportunity aplenty to consider the past (both factual and imagined) from a comfy theater seat this month, so consider tickets to a local show a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your special someone or yourself.
