Gretna Theatre, has announced its 2021 season. Events will take place at the Mount Gretna Playhouse, Pennsylvania and Carnegie avenues, Mount Gretna.
Productions will include "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" on Thursday to Sunday, July 15 to 18; "The Hound of the Baskervilles" on Thursday to Sunday, Aug. 5 to 8; and "Dino! An Evening With Dean Martin" on Thursday to Sunday, Aug. 26-29.
The Kids Series programs will be held on Saturdays at 11 a.m. The series of one-hour shows will introduce children in kindergarten through sixth grade to live theater. The Kids Series is sensory-friendly, meaning typical theater conventions have been relaxed to accommodate individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities and the families that support them. The theater never goes completely dark, no startling or strobing lighting effects are used, and attendees are free to change seats or take a break during the shows. The Kids Series will include "Llama Llama Red Pajama" on July 17, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show" on Aug. 7.
Gretna Theatre will also present "The Summer Club" on Friday, Sept. 3, at 7 p.m. A 17-piece big band will perform Sinatra-style and jazzy Broadway hits.
Gretna Theatre has instituted safety procedures in response to the pandemic. These efforts include capacity restrictions, a fresh seating plan, a sanitization regimen before and after each performance, and sanitization stations at the entrances/exits. Efforts behind the scenes include new safety procedures for performers and administration.
Tickets for the 2021 season are extremely limited due to the capacity restrictions. For subscriptions and single tickets, call the box office at 717-964-3627. For updates on safety procedures, visit http://www.gretnatheatre.org/safety.
