Dinner and a Show Plans?

STC is making dinner plans before the show a lot easier with our new online restaurant guide, STCdine.com. We've partnered with a number of downtown restaurants to provide detailed information (including a featured restaurant for each of this season's productions) along with a discount package that's pretty hard to beat!

WIN A NEW HOME FOR $100!!!


Find out how HERE...

STC is raffling off a 3-bedroom riverfront condo at the new Regatta at the Rivers development in West Sacramento. Tickets are only $100 and we're only selling 5000 of them--that means you're odds of winning a NEW HOME are better than your odds of cutting yourself shaving!

Check out the news on this exciting fundraiser for STC in Bob Shallit's column in the SacBee and on KCRA3 over the weekend.

STC Wins Arts & Business Award

STC picked up the "Best Arts/Business Partnership" award from the Arts & Business Council of Sacramento at the annual Prelude to the Season event last Thursday. The award, which goes to the best collaboration between a local business and a non-profit arts organiztion, was given to the Firehouse Ball in recognition of the relationship between STC, the Firehouse Restaurant and the Harvego Family Foundation.

We're very proud of this award and even prouder of the event itself, which raised a record amount for STC last June. Look for a save-the-date notice after the first of the year for the 9th annual Firehouse Ball!

Cowtown Marathon

I ran the half-marathon in the annual Cowtown Marathon yesterday, and the morning after 13.1 miles I can honestly say I know more kinds of pain than Eskimos have words for "snow."

This year, the featured presenters were Karl Rove, Deepak Chopra, comedian Frank Caliendo, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and political columnists Bob Beckel and Cal Thomas.

Our new STC-2 Ambassadors opened the event with an energetic medley of patriotic songs that brought the crowd of over 3,000 to their feet--here's the photo at left:
