Live Music, Theater Return To The Merc In Old Town Temecula

TEMECULA, CA — The Merc at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater is opening once again after more than a year of closure due to the pandemic.

On Saturday, Country Live! returns. Presented by Gwyn Sanborn, the live country music show features The Merc's house band backing up country artists from across the Temecula Valley. Country Live! begins at 7 p.m. and will continue being staged the first and third Saturday of every month. A 9 p.m. show will take place if the 7 p.m. performance sells out. Artist showcases and songwriter nights change.

A lineup of all summer performances, including Country Live!, can be found here.

Temecula Theater’s Main Stage will open its curtains in September with the staging of "Mamma Mia" presented by the Temecula Valley Players. The show runs September 2-19.

“The City of Temecula thanks you for your patience and patronage as we welcome you, our Temecula Theater Family, back along with the talented performers, long-standing partners, and producers. On with the shows!” said Temecula City Council Member Zak Schwank.

The Merc ticket office will reopen to the public on Friday, July 1; tickets are now available online as well. Tickets sell out quickly, according to the city.

The Merc is located at 42051 Main Street, Temecula.
