nightlight extended! New shows Dec. 21, 22, 23, 27 and Jan. 6

A newly imagined nightlight for winter 2023.

All along the Wintry Way remember to:

~Be nice to old ladies.

~Give the Hare their stew.

~Follow the voice of the Wind.

Can you see in the Dark?

You will.



nightlight is an immersive theater experience where spectators walk into the story. This year we explore darkness and our relationship to this dark time of year. Maybe we need to embrace the dark to be able to truly see?

Each showing accommodates up to seven people. There will be five showings each night beginning at 6:35. Suitable for ages six and up. Performances take place at the Imaginists, 461 Sebastopol Ave. Santa Rosa, CA.

Single tickets on sale beginning November 27th. Single tickets are sliding scale $15 and up.

The Imaginists is an independent theater and performance organization operating for over twenty years. For fifteen years we have made our home in the SOFA neighborhood of Santa Rosa.

Still another reason to go indie this winter is this year’s offerings showcase artists as their irrepressible selves: unapologetic, out there, searing, daring you to follow their example and be more yourself in your own holiday merrymaking.
