Venice Theatre back in business
this month
|
|
Venice Theatre is happy to announce its return to live theatre, beginning Saturday, Sept. 26, 2020. The theatre has followed the recommendations of medical and community advisors, and now it is ready to welcome patrons back to the building.
Producing Executive Director Murray Chase says, "Of course things will be different for a while. Shows will feature smaller casts. For at least a few weeks, we’ll hold all performances in our MainStage Jervey Theatre, with a distanced seating plan. There will be plenty of room, as we’ll only welcome 120 to 130 patrons per performance."

Venice Heritage Inc. wants to build a display building to store “Old Betsy,” the city’s 1926 LaFrance fire engine on the Venice Cultural Campus. The hurricane-hardened structure would feature windows, sheltered by an arcade, where people could view the 94-year-old vehicle.

This is Lucky and he is a one of kind! He is quite vocal when he wants attention, which is often. Lucky is definitely a lap cat, and he enjoys nuzzling his head into yours while being pet. He doesn't mind being brushed and enjoys being held like a baby. All Lucky needs is a friend to call his own. Will you be the "lucky" one to love him every day?

This loving and gentle soul is Buddy. He enjoys the simple things in life: a comfy couch, a soft dog bed or maybe even your bed if you would allow it. He enjoys boat rides where he can feel the wind in his face and going for walks in the park. Buddy knows basic commands and can give you a nice paw shake if you ask him.
