Based on the classic novel, “Daddy Long Legs” is a beloved tale in the spirit of Jane Austen, the Brontë Sisters, and Downton Abbey, and is coming to Theatre 29 April 5–April 14. Jerusha Abbott is the oldest orphan in the John Grier home until a mysterious benefactor decides to send her to college to be educated as a writer. Required to write him a letter once a month, she is never to know the benefactor’s identity, so she invents one for him: Daddy Long Legs. Yet, there is one startling fact that Jerusha has yet to uncover about her benefactor — a fact that will change her life forever.

“Daddy Long Legs” will run two weekends from April 5–14, with Friday and Saturday shows at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for regular admission, $12.50 for seniors and military, and $10 for children under 12 and students with ID. Tickets are available at theatre29.org or by calling the Theatre 29 Box Office at (760) 361-4151.  

Founded in 1999, Theatre 29 is an all-volunteer, non-profit (501(c)(3)) community theater organization. Donations are sought and will be gratefully accepted.
