Twenty months. That’s how long the Ahmanson will have been dark when, if all goes as hoped, Center Theatre Group finally reopens its doors Nov. 30.
The company is expected to announce Tuesday revised plans for a 2021-22 season that launches later than many theatergoers may expect, especially given California’s recent announcement targeting June 15 for businesses and venues to reopen fully. But given scheduling, casting, rehearsing and all the other complexities of theater, not to mention a pandemic that is not entirely over, Center Theatre Group plans to restart not in August with director Daniel Fish’s Tony Award-winning revival of “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!,” as had been previously announced, but in the holiday season with “A Christmas Carol.”
