Jefferson Theatre Troupe proudly presents their spring musical - IN THE HEIGHTS.

In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

Performances will be in the Jefferson Auditorium on April 17th at 7pm, April 18th at 7pm, and April 19th at 1pm. Tickets are $10 for general admission and sold at the door.
