Rob Ruggiero, TheaterWorks Producing Artistic Director announced today that the $5.7 million renovation of the theater's historic home is nearly complete - on time and on budget. TheaterWorks is welcoming the public to attend an Open House on Wednesday Oct 16 from 4-8pm to tour the space.
Rob said "This project has been transformative. There is something special that happens in our space that I've never experienced in any other theater I've worked in around the country. We are so excited to welcome our audience back home and so grateful to all the supporters who made this dream possible." TheaterWorks will open its 19/20 Season Friday, October 18, 2019 with a production of AMERICAN SON. Rob added, "As we return home, I'm excited to share a season of very important stories - stories that will create dialogue with the community and that reflect the America we live in now."Dina Plapler (President)
