Venice, FL, Jan. 27, 2016 – This evening Venice Theatre proudly announced its 67th season at a party attended by more than 400 sponsors, donors, advertisers, patrons and volunteers. Moments before the reception began, the Board of Directors approved the docket of productions presented to them by the theatre’s volunteer play selection committee – chaired by Steven O’Dea – and Artistic/Executive Director Murray Chase. The party’s entertainment included performances of songs from most of the musicals on the upcoming schedule: Billy Elliot the Musical, Sister Act, Crazy For You®, Blood Brothers, The Toxic Avenger, Disenchanted, Peter Pan, and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.
Venice Theatre produces four series that give audiences the opportunity to see traditional Broadway-style shows (MainStage), contemporary works (Stage II), light musical revues (Cabaret) and family-friendly fare (Generations). Add to this an annual Summer Stock production, a variety of concerts and special events, classes and outreach projects, and there is rarely a quiet day or night at the second largest community theatre in the United States.
