RENSSELAER â The Fendig Summer Theater for Children will be bringing two productions outdoors this summer.
Heather Heinig of the Fendig Theater was granted approval by the Rensselaer City Council Monday night (May 10) to use Foundation Park as a performance venue on July 8-11.
Foundation Park is located at the old Monnett Elementary School site with the main entrance on U.S. 231.
Kids will perform Moana Jr. and Xanadu Jr. beginning Thursday, July 8, with evening shows. Friday will also feature evening shows, with matinee shows only scheduled for Saturday.
Heinig said it will be a matinee so that it wouldnât interfere with the annual Cruise Night that will begin at 6 p.m. on July 10.
