Theatre in the Heights is back after a lengthy intermission of more than a year, due to COVID-19 shutdown orders.
The small community theater resumed live performances last month and is currently showing Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” Showings will continue through Aug. 29, on weekends only, Friday-Sunday.
A spokesperson for the theatre did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday evening. Due to the county’s current health order, attendees and staff are required to wear masks inside the theater, according to a posting on the theatre’s website.
The theater has been running on donations from its loyal fans over the past year, with supporters being thanked on the theater’s social media page for helping the theater stay alive. Donations were also encouraged during the Big Day of Giving earlier this month.
A typical production costs the organization between $3,000 and $5,000 for royalties, set design, props, and costumes, according to theater president Blake Flores. Organizers have set up a donation page for anyone who wants to support the theater.
Tickets for this month’s production are $15. Season tickets are also available through the organization’s website for $100.
Theatre in the Heights is located at 8215 Auburn Blvd., in Citrus Heights. Showtimes and more details can be found at www.theatreintheheights.com.
