The Bankhead Theater will present popular innovative ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro on July 28, in one of the first live performances to be held at the venue since it closed more than a year ago due to the pandemic.
The Bankhead Theater is scheduled to reopen for screenings films in May at 20% capacity.
The Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, which operates the 500-seat theater, announced this week that 100 tickets would be available for a showing of the classic film musical, âFiddler on the Roof,â on May 19.
Nine more screenings will follow, including two theater productions filmed for broadcast at Londonâs West End and a âTravel Without Leaving Townâ series featuring famous art and artists.
The theaterâs popular Family Films program will also return this summer with dates and show titles to be announced.
âAfter what has been a very long year, we are really looking forward to welcoming our patrons back into the theater,â said Chris Carter, LVPAC executive director. âUntil we are able to host live performances again, showing high-quality films on our full-stage big screen can bring at least some of the joy of the arts back inside the theater.
