(WWSB) - The Venice Theatre will be opening its door for the second time since the Coronavirus shut down almost all performing arts centers across the county. Beginning March 26th, the theater will present a new series of live shows in its Jervey Theatre. The first performance will be an original cabaret from Michelle Kasanofsky titled “2020: The Year That Almost Was.” Producing Executive Director Murray Chase says, “Things will continue to be different for a while. Shows will still feature smaller casts and all performances will take place in our MainStage Jervey Theatre, with a distanced seating plan.”
