The creation of a dedicated theatre space in Sonoma Valley and to foster community support for the performing arts.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • In 2024, Sonoma Arts Live presented a season of theatrical productions (4 musicals, 2 plays) in Andrews Hall at the Sonoma Community Center. In February, the company also produced a "Valentine's with the GALentines" event featuring local theater professionals returning to the SAL stage. The company's production of "Hello Girls", about telephone operators in WW1, engaged local veteran organizations and culminated in the dedication ceremony of a new gravestone for Juliette Courtial Smith, a real-life "Hello Girl" buried in Sonoma. Our summer production of "The Prom" included outreach to local LGBTQ+ youth groups. The company continued to offer discount ticket options to local non-profits and welcomed patrons bussed from local senior living facilities to a Sunday matine performance of each production. Outreach also included free admission to preview performances for local youth and caregiver groups. It is estimated that roughly 6,500 patrons attended Sonoma Arts Live events in 2024.
