Theatre group moving to Glendale
Antaeus Theatre Co. has vacated its North Hollywood home of nine years and has started moving into a new site in Glendale.
Construction to convert the vacant storefront at 110 E. Broadway into a multitheater performing arts center is progressing, with all the framing, plumbing, electrical and the lighting grids for the site’s two theaters already complete, according to Antaeus officials.
When finished, the new venue will have an 80-seat theater and a 45-seat “black box” theater, as well as a lobby gallery and a classics library.
“It’s so exciting to watch the space come together,” said Ana Rose O’Halloran, the theater’s executive director. “As is often, though, par for the course with large construction projects, it’s taking just a little longer than we’d hoped. For that reason, we’ve made the audience-friendly decision to move our opening out of the busy holiday season and into January.”
The new schedule for the inaugural season in the new space will be:
“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play, will kick off the new year on Jan. 26 and run through March 12.
The Southern California premiere of “Native Son,” adapted by Nambi E. Kelley from Richard Wright’s novel about oppression, freedom and justice, will open on April 27 and run through June 11.
“As You Like It,” William Shakespeare’s gender-bending romantic comedy, will open on July 27 and run through Sept. 10.
