Theatre of Lights

Theatre of Lights is a holiday lighting extravaganza produced by the Downtown Sacramento Partnership. The nightly performances feature a live-action retelling of Moore’s 1823 poem — A Visit from St. Nicholas, more popularly known as ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.

The highlight of the 20-minute production is a live dramatization on the balconies above K Street, complete with a special appearance by Jack Frost, and the lighting of the 60-foot Christmas tree by St. Nick himself. Discover how early pioneers experienced the calamities — and revelry — that befell the new city in the 1850s, the sounds of the fires, floods, and parties will surround the audience as the 150-year-old building facades light up with color.

Conceived and created by Stage Nine Exhibitions’ Troy Carlson, Theatre of Lights brings together some of California’s finest talents in the field of light and sound: BP Productions, Associated Sound, and Emmy-nominated voice actor Bill Farmer, the voice of Disney’s Goofy.
