You No Longer Need to Wait Until Summer for This Sacramento Tradition

Music Circus, Sacramento’s beloved theater-in-the-round, now runs March-December

Since its humble beginnings in a tent nearly 75 years ago, Music Circus has been a summer-only tradition in Sacramento. The opportunity to expand to a year-round schedule came about with the closing of Sacramento Theater Company, which had shared Broadway at Music Circus’ theater campus at 15th & H streets since the early 1950s.
