TICKET INFO COMING SOON.This event is a love-letter to Placer County history, and features a work-in-development about the Rocklin and Roseville Roundhouses. Placer Repertory Theater commissioned this play by Rocklin local Ryan Gerberding, a graduate of the Placer Repertory Theater mentorship program. Audiences are invited to provide feedback, and to NAME THAT PLAY!
The Rocklin roundhouse was an economic engine and cultural touchstone for the surrounding town for over forty years, until all that changed. Based on true events, this play follows Master Mechanic L.L. Timmins and the citizens of Rocklin as they deal with the removal of their town’s beloved roundhouse. Taking place from 1905 to 1908, this story chronicles the town’s struggle to maintain its prominence in the face of the never-ending march of progress. The six actors perform a variety of characters from a script rich with local historical references, to bring this love letter to life.
Live music will be provided by the educators from Rockstar Music Academy, and audiences are invited to a post-show Q&A where they may share family history and NAME THAT PLAY!
