The Public Theater Of San Antonio Announces New Dates For Current Season

After a month-long hiatus with suspended productions due to severe COVID-19 levels in San Antonio, theater is back in San Antonio! The Public Theater of San Antonio has announced new dates for the remaining shows in its 2021-2022 Season. Three out of the four remaining shows are back in queue for the spring and summer time slots. However, one show is not slated to return due to scheduling and other factors. A Bronx Tale The Musical has been removed from the lineup.

"It was incredibly hard for us to make the decision to drop A Bronx Tale The Musical from the season. In the end it came down to scheduling, budget, capacity, among other factors that we tried to address from every angle. Fortunately, we are only losing one show this season, which we feel is a very positive accomplishment given the circumstances." - Claudia de Vasco, Executive Artistic Director

Ryan Scott Oliver's groundbreaking new concept musical, 35mm: A Musical Exhibition picks up the season, opening Friday, March 25. Fan-favorite and lonely-hearts story, She Loves Me is rescheduled to open May 20. Tony Award-winning Once on this Island, A Musical retains it's summer dates, starting July 15.

The Public Theater has announced the cast for 35mm: A Musical Exhibition. The music and lyrics are written by Ryan Scott Oliver and based on the photography of Matthew Murphy. The production plays at the Russell Hill Rogers Theater at San Pedro Playhouse in San Pedro Park, March 25 through April 17.

35mm: A Musical Exhibition will star JOHN BERRING, JENNIFER HOSKINS, CHAZ INGRAHAM*, ISIDRO MEDINA*, and JILLIAN SAINZ

A picture is worth 1,000 words - what about a song? Can a picture inspire a song or fifteen? In 35mm, each photo creates a unique song, moments frozen in time; a glimmer of a life unfolding, a glimpse of something happening. A stunning new multimedia musical which explores a groundbreaking new concept in musical theater... This intricately woven collection of stories told through song re-imagines what the modern American musical can be. (ConcordTheatricals.com)
