Feature: Torrance Theatre Company Completes its First PLAY-AT-HOME Series in December
With Beyond Glory, Driving Miss Daisy, and A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play
Torrance Theatre Company is completing its first PLAY-AT-HOME series of online theatrical experiences, designed to entertain audiences during the stay-at-home orders. All productions are performed live onstage within the theater while observing all COVID-19 restrictions, and recorded for broadcast.
Company members volunteer their time and talent in all capacities (actors, directors, designers, and technical crew) to bring these plays to life via online platforms, which patrons can enjoy from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Buying a ticket means you are assisting in "keeping the lights on" at 1316 Cabrillo Ave., where Torrance Theatre Company looks forward to welcoming you back to their theater space in 2021.
Tickets are $20 per show at www.TorranceTheatreCompany.com/playathome with no restrictions on the number of viewers at each location. After purchasing, an online link to the play will be sent via email. If you have questions, please call (424) 243-6882.
