VENICE THEATRE ANNOUNCES 2012-2013 SEASON

Venice Theatre proudly announced its 63rd season last night at a party attended by sponsors, donors, advertisers, patrons and volunteers. Minutes before the reception was underway, the theatre’s Board of Directors approved the docket of productions presented to them by the theatre’s play selection committee and Artistic/Executive Director Murray Chase.

Offering the widest variety and most robust programming of any community theatre in the area, Venice Theatre has been deemed the third-largest community theatre in the country by the American Association of Community Theatre. It currently 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 a variety of concerts and special events, classes and outreach projects, and you will rarely find a quiet day or night at Venice Theatre. Season subscriptions will go on sale in mid-February. A total of eight different packages are available. Prices range from $35 for a child subscription to the Generations Series to $319 for the Golden Ticket.
