2008-2009 B3 Series Season
The "B3 Series" - an additional series of great plays for our adult B Street Theatre patrons. With two resident series (B Street Theatre mainstage & B Street Theatre Family Series) that have SOLD OUT subscriptions, clearly the demand for more theatre from the B Street was there. The B3 series is our 3rd resident series, performed in our two-theatre complex at 27th & B Street.
After a successful first season, we're pleased to announce the 2008-2009 season!
