Sunday night at the sold-out Elly Awards ceremony, Ed Claudio not only picked up his first Elly for directing the outstanding production of “Glengarry Glen Ross” (after being nominated 15 times, he said) - read the story here - but he also announced his bittersweet farewell to Del Paso Boulevard.
Claudio will close the Actor's Theatre of Sacramento at the end of the year, completing 10 seasons at the complex creatively known as The Building. But as the saying goes, when one door closes, another one opens, and Claudio will be opening doors in Old Folsom.
Claudio is to be a partner and artistic director with Mikon Productions (owned and operated by Mike Jimena and Connie Mockenhaupt), running a new theater at 717 Sutter St. in Folsom. For their first show, they’ll be bringing back the sensational Alexandra Ralph in the one-woman song cycle by Andrew Lloyd Webber, “Tell Me On Sunday.” The show will open Nov. 3 in an intimate, 49-seat Actor’s Theatre of Folsom, as it will be called.
Claudio says he will continue to operate a teaching studio in Sacramento and should have that location firmed up soon.
