The Public Theater of San Antonio Announces New Dates for Current Season
35mm: A Musical Exhibition Cast Announced
After a month-long hiatus with suspended productions due to severe COVID-19 levels in San Antonio, theater is back in San Antonio! The Public Theater of San Antonio is excited to announce new dates for the remaining shows in it’s 2021–2022 Season. Three out of the four remaining shows are back in queue for the spring and summer time slots. However, one show is not slated to return due to scheduling and A Bronx Tale, The Musical has been removed from the lineup.
From Executive Artistic Director, Claudia de Vasco “It was incredibly hard for us to make the decision to drop A Bronx Tale from the season. In the end it came down to scheduling, budget, capacity, among other factors that we tried to address from every angle. Fortunately, we are only losing one show this season, which we feel is a very positive accomplishment given the circumstances.”
Ryan Scott Oliver’s groundbreaking new concept musical, 35mm: A Musical Exhibition picks up the season, opening Friday, March 25. Fan-favorite and lonely-hearts story, She Loves Me is rescheduled to open May 20. Tony Award-winning Once on this Island, A Musical retains it’s summer dates, starting July 15.

A picture is worth 1,000 words — what about a song? Can a picture inspire a song or fifteen? In 35mm, each photo creates a unique song, moments frozen in time; a glimmer of a life unfolding, a glimpse of something happening. A stunning new multimedia musical which explores a groundbreaking new concept in musical theater… This intricately woven collection of stories told through song re-imagines what the modern American musical can be.
