Jean Runyon Little Theater

This little theater located in the Memorial Auditorium is charming and intimate as it is one of a kind. Dedicated to Jean Runyon (who recently passed) in 2000, it was redone after being closed in 1982.
I attended a dance performance here. There is an upstairs seating area and a downstairs. It gets really hot upstairs! Just be aware of that and wear layers. Also, when it is dark (like during a performance) you cannot see the hardwood stairs. Unfortunately a woman lost her footing and fell, but luckily nothing too serious happened.
I love the rag-​painted walls, it reminds me of an old European church. The dark wooden exposed beams in the ceiling add even more uniqueness to the place.
It seats about 272 people and the stage is not huge. However the acoustics are good and there isn’t really a bad seat in the house! If you do plan on either having a performance here or attend something here, parking can be a pain unless it is on a Sunday. (I hate paying for parking, especially in a place like Sac!).
