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.

It’s Happening: The A’s Are in Sacramento

A longtime Sacramento sports writer reflects on the A's opening series at Sutter Health Park

Spring Awakenings

FROM THE PUBLISHER: The old expression, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” has a quaintness to it but, in fact, if people hadn’t taken a closer look at their not-broke but not-exactly humming-along ways of doing business, they’d have never modernized their work flow, automated some time-swallowing paperwork practices and kept their competitive edge with rival businesses that weren’t afraid to do some regular “spring cleaning.”

The Enduring Value of Female Friendships

There’s something special about female friendships. For me, my two friends are the sisters I never had. They knew me as a shy little girl, an awkward teenager, a young adult with career dreams, a new Mom and middle-aged woman. My parents and brother have passed, yet Brenda and Sue remain, sharing with each other all the details of our lives.
