Located in the West Sacramento Community Center
Where?
Officially, the address is 1075 W. Capitol, West Sacramento, CA 95691.
BUT...
Thanks to modern technology, your navigation program will ALMOST get you to the West Sacramento Community Center. However the West Capitol Ave address won't get you to the parking lot or the entrance to the building. (It puts you at the top of the Black Box logo in the photo below.)
The WS Community Center and the Black Box Theater can only be accessed through the Turner Public Library parking lot entrance on Merkley Ave.
Use this address for your navigation device instead:
Arthur F. Turner Community Library
1212 Merkley Ave, West Sacramento, CA 95691
When you are in the parking lot, keep right until you see the blue and orange 3-story building. That's the WS Community Center and the Black Box Theater is upstairs.
The theater is now accepting rental applications.
See the Theater Rental Information for information and downloads.

October 2024
THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS by Edit Villarreal
Directed by Manuel José Pickett
ABOUT THE PLAY
The Language of Flowers by Edit Villarreal is an urban Chicano adaptation of Romeo and Juliet set in Los Angeles. This play explores love and cultural identity against the backdrop of the Latino immigrant experience. The narrative touches on themes of family, community, and survival in a tough city where love seems out of place amidst challenges. Villarreal weaves together Shakespearean elements with bilingual dialogue and cultural references, creating a story that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in modern issues faced by Latino communities in the U.S.
