Pegasus Theater Company is producing the 17th season of Tapas Short Play Festival in 2025. This year's plays are:
Performances will be scheduled in September and October.
Pegasus Theater was formed in 1998 by a group of experienced theater folk living in the Russian River area. The intention: to present quality plays; to develop theater audiences in Sonoma County; to aspire to a high level of artistic achievement, to provoke, to move, to entertain and to have fun doing it! Over the past fifteen years we have produced a wide range of plays, contemporary and classical. And in recent years we have turned our attentions to developing new playwrights and nurturing their work.
