Manhattan Beach Community Theater Turns 60

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA -- A Manhattan Beach community theater is celebrating 60 years of entertaining the community with a Broadway medley, according to the Beach Reporter.

Manhattan Beach Community Church's theater program will mount "Encore! 60 Years of Love & Theater" to showcase 60 years worth of theater history in Manhattan Beach.

“‘Encore’ tells a story not only the history of our theater, but also the history of how a show like the ‘The King & I’ or ‘The Sound of Music’ was originally created by Rodgers & Hammerstein,” producer Steve Campbell, who is also the show’s narrator, told the Beach Reporter.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24, with proceeds going to benefit 1736 Family Crisis Center; 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25; and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26.
