Theatre in the Heights has announced its musical comedy “Strange Bedfellows” will debut July 29, with Blake Flores as Joel Strange and Gina Wesley as Suzanne Fellows.
UPDATE: Theatre in the Heights postpones show due to COVID cases
The script is produced locally by Citrus Heights playwright Bill Rowland, who takes a page out of today’s headlines as the inspiration for his play Strange Bedfellows.
Set a few weeks before a presidential election, the production follows members of the press looking for a scandal and political candidates seeking election, the theatre’s website says. The play promises a “happy, romantic, and patriotic resolution to the story with lots of great music and silliness along the way.”
Performances are scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., from July 29 through August 21. Sunday matinee performances are scheduled for August 7, 14, and 21 at 4 p.m.
Theatre in the Heights is located at 8215 Auburn Blvd., Suite G, in Citrus Heights. Tickets can be purchased online at www.theatreintheheights.com.
