Theater announces first indoor matinees in May

Posted

Fountain Hills Theater will open its doors for the first time in more than a year with the matinee showings of “The Ballad of Buzzard Basin.”

The brand new, old-time cowboy musical will hit the Kern Entertainment Outdoor Stage at Fountain Hills Theater outside starting Friday, May 14.

Evening performances will be held Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. Sunday shows get underway on the Mainstage at 2 p.m. each Sunday through June 6.

The Copperstate Production’s show celebrates the essence of the Old West. Filled with classic western songs and populated by steely-eyed gunslingers, pious padres, rock-jawed lawmen and saloon gals with hearts of gold, the World Premier musical proves how the West was fun.

“The Ballad of Buzzard Basin” is written and directed by Peter J. Hill, musically directed by Tom Mangum and choreographed by Noel Irick.

Tickets are on sale now and available for $35 for adults and $18 for those 17 and younger. Purchase tickets online at fhtaz.org, or through the box office, 480-837-9661, ext. 3.

All shows are at Fountain Hills Theater, 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd.

Copperstate Productions and Fountain Hills Theater are committed to the safety of their patrons, staff and performers. They will closely follow CDC safety recommendations, as well as local guidelines, due to COVID-19. Hand sanitizing stations will be located throughout the facility, and the wearing of face masks inside the facilities, for staff and patrons, is currently mandated by Maricopa County. Check the website for updated information.

Indoor seating will be limited and socially distanced. The theater will be thoroughly cleaned before each matinee. Masks are required inside the theater.
