CENTER THEATRE GROUP'S NEW SEASON
CTG will commence its 2021-22 season on Nov. 30th, twenty months after the company closed down in March, 2020 because of the pandemic. The opening show will be a production of "The Christmas Carol," directed by Matthew Warchus. It will be followed by productions of "The Lehman Trilogy," "The Prom," "Hadestown," "Dear Evan Hansen," "Everybody's Talking About Jamie" and "Oklahoma." The previously announced production of "1776" has been postponed until a future season.
"It feels like ages ago that theatres across the world went dark and, in many ways, it has been," said CTG's artistic director, Michael Ritchie. "But with vaccination rates going up, infection rates falling and all of us cautiously returning to museums, movie theatres, restaurants and even stadiums, we can finally see the moment when the curtain will rise again at the Ahmanson Theatre.
"For the first time in a very long while we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and can properly plan for a full return to CTG's three stages," Ritchie added.
"Of course, as excited as we all are to end this unprecedented intermission, we know we have to proceed cautiously with the safety of our audiences as our highest priority. Working with the state, the county, and the Music Center, we have already made remarkable progress and I have no doubt that we will be ready when the curtain rises again."
