Limelight Actors Theater is Gilroy's newest and only downtown theater. The theater is the brainchild of popular local actor Kevin Heath and local Realtor/Broker Alan Obata. Looking to present "Theater with a Twist" for downtown Gilroy, they have created previously unavailable opportunities for local actors, singers and directors to showcase their talents in a smaller, more intimate cabaret theater style. The "twist" is offering variety to local theatergoers. Staying away from the "same show, different month" model, Limelight mixes it up by offering comedy, drama, staged readings, cabaret performances, musical reviews, one act series and traditional two act shows.Limelight welcomes local Directors and Playwrights who want to showcase their work in Gilroy, a city brimming with a strong Arts Community. Limelight Actors Theater is very proud to be a theater that actually supports the Arts and the community they live in. They make a financial donation to Gilroy Arts Alliance each time they produce a show. This money directly benefits the Gilroy Center for the Arts and everything they do.
Outside of the donation, Kevin and Alan donate a significant amount of time volunteering at the Center and finding ways to help businesses partner with the Arts in downtown Gilroy.
