Founded in 1990, Spreckels Theatre Company operates STEP as part of a city-owned and operated, state-of-the-art facility. Construction of the Performing Arts Center was completed in 1990 and was fully paid for through a bequest by Fred Rohnert, community development agency funds, annexation fees, a contribution from Pacific Gas & Electric Co., Federal Revenue Sharing Funds, and City funds. Spreckels Theatre Company is a leading performing arts organization in Sonoma County that showcases the talents of local artists and guest performers from across the region and serves as a rental venue for local and touring productions. It provides performing arts programming for residents of Rohnert Park, Sonoma County, and surrounding regions, and serves nearly half a million people from Sonoma, Napa, Marin, and Mendocino counties. Spreckels has been the most-awarded theatre company in the North Bay for more than a decade.
