“The city has always been extremely supportive of our productions throughout the years,” he said. “We want to offer local fans the opportunity to experience live entertainment again and enjoy “Alegria” as they were meant to prior to the pandemic.”
“Alegria,” which is Spanish for “joy,” will bring an reimagining of their 1994 production to newer generations, whisking audiences away to a mysterious world full of poetry and acrobatic experiences, according to a news release. The production began in 2019 in celebration of its 25th anniversary.
