The Coaster makes a comeback
Theater schedules
2021 productions
BY RAY GARCIA
After a year without any in-house shows,
the Coaster Theatre Playhouse plans to
reopen its doors to the public for part of its
2021 season.
The theater is working on several pro-
ductions this year, including a collection of
scenes and sonnets from William Shake-
speare; a home-grown mystery; a classic
drama; and a community-written, radio-
style Charles Dickens project.
The theater had to cancel many of its
shows that were planned for 2020 because
of the coronavirus. The last in-house show
the theater hosted was its production of “A
Bench in the Sun” in February 2020.
“We only did one of our 2020-slated
shows last year,” said Jenni Tronier, the the-
ater’s marketing and operations director.
“We normally do seven shows in a tradi-
tional season and we only did one.”
