Located at 607 Peña Drive in East Davis, the Hoblit Performing Arts Center is Northern California's newest performing arts venue and new home to the Davis Musical Theatre Company (DMTC), recipients of the 2004 Sacramento Metro Chamber Arts & Business Council's Arts Management Excellence Award. The 10,000 square-foot theater features stadium seating for 240, a spacious, art-deco styled lobby, a full-time box office, concession stand and gift shop, excellent sight lines, superior acoustics and large restrooms, with expanded facilities for female patrons. The backstage areas feature 1,700 square-feet of costume storage, a large costume shop with washer, dryer and dye washer, roomy dressing rooms, sizeable scene shop and prop storage and substantial wing space.

The Hoblit Performing Arts Center is the result of a three year effort by DMTC, designers Steve Isaacson (Co-Founder and Producer of DMTC), Mark Groen (Acanthus Studios of Sacramento), Harrison Construction of Davis, Vasko Electric of Sacramento, SD Ochs (framing), Meline Engineering (mechanical and plumbing design), and BJ's Heating and Air of Woodland.

The Hoblit Performing Arts Center is scheduled to open on November 11, 2005 with Stephen Sondheim's INTO THE WOODS, when it will take its place as one of the area's premier performing arts venues and new home to the all-volunteer Davis Musical Theatre Company.

What do you get when you cross Little Red Ridinghood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and Stephen Sondheim? Classic fairy tales meet in the woods as DMTC proudly presents Stephen Sondheim's INTO THE WOODS, opening November 11 and playing through December 4 at the brand new 10,000 square foot, 240 seat Hoblit Performing Arts Center at 607 Peña Drive in Davis.
