Stage 3 Theatre Company

About Stage 3 Theatre Company: From the most humble beginnings in 1993, Stage 3 Theatre Company has evolved into one of the region’s powerhouses.

The Stockton record called Stage 3 “The best thing to happen to this region in many years”. “Stage 3 dazzles”, said the Union Democrat. “Breathtaking theater”, declares the Modesto Bee. According to the Lodestar, “Stage 3 is the jewel in the crown of regional theater”.

You will see what makes Stage 3 special the minute you step through the front doors and into our “funky elegant” Great Room. We open one hour before every performance so that our patrons can enjoy the artwork and a glass of wine, while we treat you to live music. The Great Room is also where we present an ongoing Music @ Stage 3 series of special evenings showcasing the best musicians of the region. The theater itself is Black box style with just 85 seats surrounding the stage on 3 sides. Doors to the theater open 1/2 hour before the performance. We have open seating. In this intimate setting you will experience what our Artistic Director, Don Bilotti calls “theater of the unexpected, daring enough to make a point and accessible enough to make a difference. We believe in theater that reaches beyond pure entertainment”.
For our audiences, this translates to a well-balanced season that melds reinterpretations of the best classics with the new Pulitzer Prize winners and exciting world premiers from up and coming playwrights.

Visit Stage 3 for a unique theater experience. We look forward to welcoming you. Questions? Call (209) 536-1778.
