Leading up to a highly anticipated new season of baseball in the Capital City, Stage Nine Entertainment is thrilled to celebrate America’s favorite pastime with a “Swinging Through Sacramento” special event on Saturday, March 29, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fun and free one-day public event will welcome Disney Fine Art’s top artist Tim Rogerson, a North Carolina native and seasoned veteran in the art world who casts his artwork with an evident energy and passion.
To be debuted at Stage Nine, Rogerson created a series of baseball-themed original art pieces for the occasion that feature Disney characters playing and/or enjoying the game, two of which highlight our iconic Tower Bridge and Sutter Health Park in the background. Rogerson will be available in Stage Nine’s Underground Vault to meet & greet guests and autograph purchased artwork. In addition, the Center for Sacramento History will display images of prized baseball memorabilia and artifacts from their collection. Plus, Saturday attendees will have the opportunity to enter for a chance to win four tickets to an upcoming baseball game at Sutter Health Park later in the season (must be 18+ to enter, value not to exceed a total of $250, game dates TBD based on choice and availability).
Stage Nine Entertainment is well known as the area’s premier entertainment retail destination that showcases approximately 20,000 unique items related to movies, television, toys, and pop culture. Stage Nine is well known for hosting retail events attended by celebrities, artists, and entertainers. Plus, the on-site art gallery – The Vault – isCalifornia’s #1 independently owned retailer of Disney Fine Art.
Located in a building known as “What Cheer House” at the corner of Front & K Streets (102 K Street) at the Old Sacramento Waterfront and founded by Troy Carlson, the Stage Nine retail empire started humbly enough as a small, 500-square foot gift shop in the early 90s – then known as “Old Sacramento Giftique” – that specialized in model railroad products, souvenirs, Sacramento-themed apparel, and unique gifts. Carlson opened the shop when he was a freshman in college at CSUS in 1991. Today, Stage Nine has expanded over time into an elaborate and engaging five-store footprint that takes up a combined 8,000-square foot space with the following five retail concepts: Stage Nine Entertainment Store, G. Willikers! Toy Emporium, The Vault, The Old Fashioned Candy & Confectionery Store, and California Clothiers. In addition, The Underground Vault event space is 2,500-square feet in size and available for rental by artists, creatives, and for meetings and celebrations.
Stage Nine retail stores are open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information about the special “leading ladies,” Stage Nine Entertainment, Inc., Stage Nine Family of Specialty Retail Stores, or renting The Underground Vault event space, please call 916-447-3623 or visit www.stagenine.com.
