Love in the spotlight

Jaime Love, artistic director of the Sonoma Arts Live theater company, took her rightful bow as Sonoma’s Treasure Artist of the Year for 2023 at a March 30 reception. 

She’s been in the biz over 35 years: actor, producer, singer, director, writer and voice-over artist. She’s elevated SAL (and its Sonoma home, the Rotary Stage at Andrews Hall) into an award-winning company of regional note. 

“I will never forget that night and I’m so grateful for the memories,” she posted. “Thanks to you my community for coming to the reception! What fun we had! And thank you for the opportunity to create memorable theatrical experiences with Sonoma Arts Live Theater Company!!

Plus, when need arises and it usually does, she jumps in to help dress the sets and find the costumes. A theater kid through and through. As such, she’d probably appreciate a plug for the upcoming show: Side by Side By Sondheim.
