Strange Bedfellows: Showtimes for a new comedy at Theatre in the Heights are slated to happen in August, although performances planned to begin July 29 were postponed due to COVID cases among cast and crew. The show is a premiere production of an original musical, with book, music, and lyrics by local playwright and composer Bill Rowland. The story is set a few weeks before a presidential election, with members of the press desperate to find some hint of a scandal.
Theatre in the Heights is located at 8215 Auburn Blvd., behind the former Baskin Robbins ice cream shop. A full list of showtimes and ticket information, along with updates, are posted at www.theatreintheheights.com.
