Transcendence Theatre Company made several strides during its eighth “Broadway Under the Stars” summer season, including its first full musical – A Chorus Line. The sold-out run was such a hit, the company has already decided to open its 2020 season next June 20 with the mega-hit show Chicago.
At its final show, Transcendence Theatre Company announced it has raised more than $515,000 for Jack London State Historic Park since its first performance there in 2011.
“It was a stellar summer season and one of our best yet,” said Stephan Stubbins, the company’s co-executive director. “After selling out all eight performances of A Chorus Line and creating millions of meaningful moments in Jack London State Historic Park and beyond, we can’t thank our community, supporters, and patrons enough for all they’ve made possible both on and off the stage this summer.”
