Theatre in the Heights to launch new comedy July 29

By Mike Hazlip—
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.
