Altadena Music Theatre announced Wednesday it will return this summer with productions of “Grease” and “Little Shop of Horrors,” marking the company’s first season since being displaced by last year’s Eaton Fire.
The nonprofit theater company said it will stage the productions at a temporary outdoor venue at Mountain View Mausoleum after the fire forced it from its longtime home at the Charles Farnsworth Amphitheater.
“Grease” will run Aug. 6-16, followed by “Little Shop of Horrors” from Sept. 3-13.
Founded in 2020 by artistic director Sarah Azcarate, Altadena Music Theatre offers youth musical theater programming, arts education for children and teens, and community theater productions for adults, officials said.
The company’s previous productions include “Hair” in 2022, “Cabaret” in 2023 and “Guys and Dolls” in 2024.
“Grease” follows the romance of high school students Danny and Sandy and includes songs such as “Summer Nights,” “Greased Lightnin”’ and “You’re the One That I Want.”
“Little Shop of Horrors” tells the story of a florist’s assistant whose fortunes change after discovering a mysterious plant named Audrey II that feeds on human blood.
Performances for both productions are scheduled for Thursdays through Sundays at 8 p.m.
Season passes are on sale through the company’s website at www.altadenamusictheatre.com.
Mountain View Mausoleum is located at 2300 Marengo Ave. in Altadena.
