Sold Out – Sonoma Police Report Live Show
Hilarious staged reading of real Sonoma police reports from the 80s-2000s. Local history, audience games, and wild stories you won’t find in travel guides.
About the Event
The Sonoma Police Report Live show promises to be a very fun, crazy, kooky show about the history of Sonoma you won’t find in winery gift shops, hotel brochures, destination magazine ads, or “Top 10 small towns to live in” lists. Join us for a raucous staged reading of excerpts from the hilarious book, “Sonoma Police Report: funny, odd tales from the Wine Country” and fun audience-involved games.
Get ready to hear some of the funniest police reports and stories from locals, from the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s. Bring some local knowledge, for you will be tested! If you are old school Sonoma, you are sure to enjoy a trip down memory lane. If you are new to Sonoma, you are guaranteed to hear some stories that will make you blush, learn
some history you didn’t know, and chuckle at the madness and revelry of old Sonoma.
Come one, come all. This promises to be more fun than Netflix, more fun than watching a folk band at the Farmer’s Market, and almost as much fun as a night in the City of Sonoma drunk tank!

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
