Playhouse on the Square Presents XANADU, 6/29-7/22

Xanadu is set to run June 29 – July 22 at Playhouse on the Square.

Based on the cult film, a Greek muse descends from the heavens to 1980s Venice Beach, California to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to create the greatest entertainment achievement- a Roller Disco!
