Murder, manipulation, miracles, musicals – all of these are taking to Sacramento area stages this April as theater companies bring classic tales to life. For the murder-curious, two beloved stories from yesteryear are sure to thrill: Chautauqua Playhouse’s “Dial M for Murder” opens soon, while Sutter Street Theatre is extending its run of “Murder on the Orient Express” due to popular demand.
If a less bloodstained throwback is more appealing, Big Idea Theatre is set to tackle the Henrik Ibsen masterpiece “Hedda Gabler,” while B Street Theatre is heading back to the 1700s with “Franklinland.” Musical lovers are sure to rejoice at the chance to see “Rent” or “Godspell” (or both, depending on their preferences).
