Enotria | Neighborhood Favorite

Looking for a great spot to start the evening?  Check out Enotria Restaurant and Wine Bar.  

Located on the corner of Del Paso and Arden, just a few blocks away from Big Idea, this newly renovated hotspot has been a neighborhood favorite for over 10 years.  Considered a "snug, sophisticated haven for snacking" by many, including Sacramento Magazine, this is the perfect go-to for a larger party of theatre-goers or to share an intimate glass of wine with your nearest and dearest before the show.

A Cast of Characters | Measure for Measure

Big Idea is excited to announce the cast for its upcoming production of Measure for Measure, opening April 7th.


One of Shakespeare's most original works in an exploration of the extremities of love and lust.  Set in a "Vienna Gone Wild," Duke Vincentio hatches a wild plot to restore order to his city, but not all the players in the game are as they seem.  Specifically double cast with 7 players so that every actor portrays both hero and villain, comedian and tragedian, Measure for Measure is not to be missed!

Prime Drama

When it comes to Proof, mathematics isn't the only thing in question.  But what about all this math talk?  Grammar school days lay a great foundation, but hope is not lost for those of us that have since filled our heads with decades of current events, pop culture, daily distractions and more.

If you vaguely remember the origins of proofs, the principals of primes or simply want to know more, we've got a quick refresher for you!

Giving Goes a Long Way | Donor Feature

We welcome Catherine and Greg to the Big Idea donor family!  Having recently relocated from Canada for a UC Davis Fellowship, their first Sacramento adventure was to join us for Compleat Female Stage Beauty.  A transportation mishap can ruin any evening, but we're thrilled that everything worked out in the end.  We appreciate your patronage and thank you for your generous donation.

Trailer | Proof

Madness is the curse of Genius, as Catherine well knows, having spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, during the long weekend that follows his death, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most challenging problem of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—has she inherited?
