B Street’s Mainstage is where audiences turn to see the most talked about plays in Northern California. It’s our job to challenge the mind and evoke emotion as we explore unrequited love, inner turmoil, and humorous relationships in an intimate setting that allows audiences to be part of the action.

Each season we choose a talented cast of actors who present seven new plays to over 75,000 people. A common question about Mainstage subscriptions: "Why doesn't B Street have a list of known shows for the entire season (like B3 and Family Series), that way you'd know what you're subscribing to?" Subscribing to the Mainstage is unique. As a theatre dedicated to primarily new work, we like to keep our options open so we can be sure to bring the freshest plays to Sacramento. Think of it as an adventure!
