A big night on Sunday for Sierra Stages at the recent Elly Awards ceremony. The theatre group, based in Nevada City, received nine awards, the most of any production company in the Sacramento region.

It was the 37th annual ceremony, sponsored by the Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance. 46 theatre groups submitted 147 productions for consideration.
