B Street Theatre at The Sofia

Company Members Dave Pierini, Tara Sissom, Stephanie Altholz and Jason Kuykendall perform classic long-form improvisation for a late-night audience. Coming out of Chicago’s comedy scene, the Harold has been used by famous improv groups like Second City which developed comedic talent such as Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Based off an audience suggestion, performers will create a one-night-only improvised play, so every performance will be unique! As an exciting caveat, if we do achieve “maximum occupancy” (aka a sell-out show), we buy everyone pizza!

Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime. This show is 16 and up

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

An Evening w Alison Bechdel @ Tsakopoulos Library Galleria

Posted to Art & Culture, Featured Events, Sales, Special Interests May 25th, 2025

OThe celebrated author of the modern classic Fun Home live on stage.

Alison Bechdel is an internationally beloved cartoonist whose darkly humorous graphic memoirs, astute writing and evocative drawing have forged an unlikely intimacy with a wide and disparate range of readers.

For twenty-five years Alison self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For. The award winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre, period” by Ms. Magazine. From the strip was born the now famous “Bechdel Test,” which measures gender bias in film. Her first graphic novel Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic was named the Best Book of the year by TIME, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award and was adapted into a Broadway musical that has won five Tony Awards, including “Best Musical.” Alison is also the author of Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama which delves into her relationship with her mother, as well as the theories of the 20th century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. Her graphic memoir titled The Secret to Superhuman Strength, was released in 2021. The Guardian calls the memoir, “quietly astonishing” and “extraordinarily generous.” Alison was the recipient of a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship and in 2014 she received a MacArthur “Genius” Grant. In their citation the MacArthur Foundation noted that Alison “is changing our notions of the contemporary memoir and expanding the expressive potential of the graphic form.” In 2017, Alison was ushered in as Vermont’s third cartoonist laureate.

Copies of Bechdel’s books will be available for sale and a book signing will follow the presentation.
This is a a free event.
Doors will open at 3:30 p.m.

Seekers of The Strange

SEEKERS OF THE STRANGE is back, and things are about to get weird—like, “Did I just see a ghost… or was that my reflection?” weird. This paranormal investigation team, led by B Street’s own John Lamb and a rotating cast of familiar faces, dives headfirst into the unknown once a month. Think of it as a live-action Dungeons & Dragons game, but with even more supernatural shenanigans and plot twists. Part game, part improvised storytelling, and 100% strange, SEEKERS OF THE STRANGE lets YOU decide how involved you want to be. Feel like sitting back and watching the madness unfold? Cool. Want to create your own character and join the team to help unravel a supernatural mystery? Even better! This show is perfect for fans of HarmonQuest, classic RPGs, or anyone who likes their theatre with a side of spooky fun. So whether you’re here for the laughs, the thrills, or just to see if you can survive the night, grab your tickets and join the adventure. It’s a new mystery every month—who knows, you might even save the world … or at least your dignity.
