Preview Night

Nice company! Excellent floral arrangements from K & M Florists in Woodland. Fine smoked salmon (Ryan and friends' choice). Superb production of "Into The Woods!" Opens tonight!







Oh yes, and don't forget Marcus Crowder's excellent article in today's Sac Bee Ticket section (including a little bit of zing):

Though the Isaacsons won't say so publicly, they might not have ever started on this journey if the city of Davis had shown them a little more love and appreciation. The DMTC produced more than 120 shows over 12 years at the downtown Davis Varsity Theatre, which the city operated.

When in 2002 it became clear that the Palms Playhouse, a Davis landmark and a revered live-music venue (despite the name), would have to relocate, the city expressed interest in hosting the Palms at the Varsity. Bringing the Palms to the Varsity would have had the domino effect of displacing the DMTC, and the Isaacsons realized how shaky their standing was.
