One Fall improv

STREAMING & IN PERSON

The world of professional wrestling is filled with pageantry and spectacle. Majesty and triumph. Spectacular physical feats and moving emotional moments. It’s also filled with huge, oiled up, muscular men in tiny pants yelling about the most insane things and somehow keeping a straight face about it.

Improv shares many of those elements, which is why Alex Shewmaker and friends bring you “One Fall Improv” a long-form improv show inspired by the highs and lows and everything in between of the Professional Wrestling world!

Step into the improvised ring and feel the fury!

NOSOTROS LA GENTE (WE THE PEOPLE)

West Coast Premiere!

A sweeping romantic saga based on a remarkable true story from World War II that follows two brothers whose deep bonds and dreams transform the California desert. When Santiago answers the call to serve his country, Salvador promises to protect all that his brother holds dear.

East Sacramento Garden Tour 2025

East Sacramento Garden Tour 2025

The East Sac Garden Tour is David Lubin Elementary’s largest fundraiser each year. But it’s more than that too. It’s a story about East Sacramento and the beautiful gardens that exist all around us. It’s a chance to enjoy the community within our school and to also create a community outside of the school.

Held each Mother’s Day Weekend, it has become a beloved tradition in Sacramento. It’s an opportunity to celebrate all that has been slowly but steadily growing around us. The self-guided walking tour lets you explore our lovely neighborhood with the ones you love most – time enjoyed with a mom, a grandma, a neighbor or a friend. Kids are welcome too.

In addition to touring the outdoor spaces throughout the neighborhood, David Luben Elementary School hosts a Boutique, Café and 3 more gardens to admire. The on-campus experience gathers over 25 local makers – perfect for gift shopping. Visit the David Lubin led Bouquet Bar, Sweets Station and Cafe for a bite. The 3 on-campus gardens are cared for year-round by students, families and staff.

If you’re looking to elevate the day even more, you can join us at Sutter Lawn Tennis Club for our Wine Garden. We have some fun surprises at the historical neighborhood club that we can’t wait to share.

Tickets for the East Sac Garden Tour & Sutter Lawn Wine Garden can be purchased online prior to the event as well as the weekend of the event at David Lubin. All proceeds directly provide enrichment programs, Art, Music and STEAM for the 500+ students at our public elementary school.

Sacramento Premiere

Conflict photographer Mia wakes up in the Istanbul apartment of her on-again, off-again girlfriend after being found unconscious at the scene of a massacre she was photographing. Mia can’t even remember being there, but she wired photos of the site hours before she was found. The two women resume their volatile push-pull when Mia’s well-meaning Californian mother arrives from the US, trying to help unravel what happened to her daughter.

“Thought-provoking, challenging and complex. Those attributes alone make Unseen worth seeing, but it’s all that and more.” –ASHLAND NEWS
