Bay Area theater where 2-time Emmy-winner Zendaya got her start to close after 50 years
Briefly

"Myself, my staff, the board of directors in the community worked very hard to keep these doors open and keep this institution open. But we faced insurmountable odds. For that we are sorry."
Cal Shakes said in February 2024 Zendaya's donation went towards upgrading sound and lighting systems and putting on its latest production.
The theater said it had to raise $350,000 to keep afloat and to produce its play, 'As You Like It.' According to that GoFundMe, it raised $367,585.
Worsley says the only way the theater would survive would be if a new operator, partners, or investors come forward.
