THEATRE GUIDE THEATRE GUIDE
CHARADE
Thru Sept 17 The Sofia Tsakopoulos Center for the Arts 2800 Capitol Ave, Sac Bstreettheatre.org
Charade, the classic romantic whodunit that starred Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, is adapted for the stage in this whirlwind production spanning the globe. Brought to life by only 5 actors, recent widow Regina “Reggie” Lampert is drawn into a cat and mouse tale of hidden identities and government subterfuge, aided by the handsome stranger Peter Joshua. But is that his real name? Is anything what she thinks it is? This genre blending mash up will have you guessing until the end!
THE ROYALE
Thru Sept 25 Capital Stage 2215 J St, Sac Boxoffice@capstage.org
Jay “The Sport” Jackson dreams of being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. But it’s 1905 and in the racially segregated world of boxing, his chances are as good as knocked out. When a crooked boxing promoter hatches a plan for “the fight of the century,” “The Sport” just might land a place in the ring with the reigning white heavyweight champion.
QUEER: DRAG, DRUGS AND A TICK TOCK CLOCK
Sept 9 - 11 Cal Cap Black Box Theatre 9845 Horn Rd, Ste 100, Sac 916 807-7429
The story takes you on a journey of selfdiscovery through the duality of human nature and evolution. Growing up in the barrios of Barranquilla, Colombia is not conducive for a queer person to thrive. The very few queer people Jair knew, lived in hiding and departed too early from this world. So, he tried to fit in, he tried to be like everyone else, he wanted to be an exemplary sample of society. But the truth always has a way of coming out. Accepting the truth is harder than knowing it sometimes. As shame and guilt weighed down Jair’s anxious heart, he discovered drag and drugs. Drag and drugs freed him, allowing him a higher level of self-expression previously self-suppressed. But drag and drugs were only a temporary fix to a much deeper problem. During the 2020 quarantine, he sat in complete isolation, and his healing process began as the Tick Tock Clock of life waved its arms.
