Spreckels Theatre Company is a leading performing arts organization located in the heart of Sonoma County. Based at the Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park, we are committed to producing bold, entertaining, and thought-provoking theatre that reflects the diversity and creativity of our community.
Founded in 1990, Spreckels presents a dynamic season of musicals, plays, and original works, showcasing the talents of local artists and guest performers from across the region. Whether onstage, backstage, or front-of-house, Spreckels aims for excellence. That’s why Spreckels has been the most-awarded theatre company in the North Bay for more than a decade.
With a focus on artistic quality, education, and bold storytelling, we strive to be a cultural home where audiences and artists connect, celebrate, and grow together.
Spreckels Theatre Education Program (STEP) strives to provide a professional educational experience for the young talent of Sonoma County. We produce 2-3 junior shows each year: our winter/spring production in the intimate Condiotti studio space and a summer camp production on the expansive Codding stage.
Spreckels Performing Arts Center is also an established rental venue, welcoming local professional and educational dance companies, concert performances, and touring productions throughout the year.
Whether you’re a long-time patron or a first-time visitor, you’ll find a warm welcome and unforgettable storytelling on our stage.
Spreckels Performing Arts Center History
The Dorothy Rohnert Spreckels Performing Arts Center, a city-owned and operated facility, provides the finest performing arts programming from around the world for the residents of Rohnert Park, Sonoma County and the surrounding regions while ensuring access to Center facilities for presentations by local arts and civic organizations. Over the years, the state-of-the-art facility has set the standard for cultural and community events in the North Bay, serving nearly half a million people from Sonoma, Napa, Marin and Mendocino counties.
Included in the City’s master plan in the late 1970s, the Performing Arts Center joined the Sports Center and Community Center as components of the Rohnert Park Community Campus. The construction of this $10 million model Performing Arts Center was completed in 1990 and fully paid for through a bequest by Fred Rohnert, community development agency funds, annexation fees, a contribution from Pacific Gas & Electric, Co., Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and City funds.
