At a new brand new location - the Red Lion Inn - Woodlake- this year's Elly theme was "Come to the Cabaret" and the ballroom, program "menu", storyboards, mood music and musical numbers all reflected this intimate theme. Theatre members sat together around richly decorated tables while enjoying delicious appetizers, scrumptious desserts and adult beverages. Named for Eleanor McClatchy, a devoted patron of the arts and former publisher of the Sacramento Bee, the Elly Awards celebrates excellence in Sacramento's local and regional community theater. A grand total of 34 Elly Awards, plus two lifetime achievement awards, were given to individuals and theaters from across a 10-county region in the Adult Division. Sponsored by the Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance (SARTA), this formal event was attended by nearly 300 active community theatre members and their families and friends.
