THEATER BY THE BOOK
THEATER BY THE BOOK is our series of dynamic play readings, performed script in-hand.
The director and actors come together for a brief rehearsal period, with minimal or no scenery, costumes, or staging involved.
Started by our friends at Sierra Stages, TBTB is now in its 14th season. We at Sierra Theater Company are thrilled to be
co-producing this year’s series with Sierra Stages—carrying this tradition forward in the seasons to come.
Readings are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM at the Nevada Theatre. Doors open for seating at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased in advance online or at the door.

In this biting and provocative Broadway comedy from Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck, innocence collides with experience as four aspiring young novelists partake in private writing classes with a recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instructor.

Hart Jr. and Patrick Milling Smith, Roy Furman, David Ian, David Mirvish, Amy Nauiokas, and James Spry, with associate producers Matthew Schneider, Wake Up Marconi, Jamie Kaye-Phillips, and Charles Stone/Ben Limberg. “Seminar” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
Goldilocks
and the Three Polar Bears
A Musical!
By Jerrod Bogard & Sky Seals
Directed by Sky Seals
Featuring; Calum Grant, Heidi Grass, Carey McCray, Andie Schaffer and Sky Seals
Wednesday, July 23rd
The Three Polar Bears are out in the cold! Their icy home has melted into the sea because of rising temperatures. Enter Goldilocks, a little, yellow-haired spoiled brat -- to save the day?? It's hard to be a hero when you're only thinking about yourself. With the help of some unlikely friends, Goldilocks learns what it means to do her share and be a member of a global family.
Featuring 9 original songs in pop, folk, R&B and Broadway show tune styles, composed by Nevada City's own Sky Seals (recent composer of "Gold Can't Love You Back", and LeGacy Productions' "It's A Wonderful Life")
Written and performed at the New York Fringe Festival in 2011, it is very surprising that this little show didn't solve the Global Warming crisis, so now it's BACK!
Wendy Remington Bowie, writing for NYTheatre.com, raved:
"I loved this play...A wonderful piece of theater for kids (though if the opportunity presented itself, I would watch it again even without the excuse of having my kid with me)....This is a play that I wish I could have on demand to pull out for a rainy, bratty Sunday afternoon as a respite and a good laugh with the added benefit of some superbly and really relate-able lessons."
