The Empty Space, a beloved Kern County theater, is celebrating over 20 years of enriching the local arts community.
“We were at Oak Street for 20 years, and this is our second year operating here on Woodmere Drive,” says Ron Warren, Operations Director for The Empty Space.
On Saturday night, the theater hosted the 21st and 22nd Annual Empty Space Awards, honoring two years of artistry and resilience. After relocating to Woodmere Drive, productions paused briefly, but Warren says the passion for theater has remained strong.
“Things are happening so successfully because the community was responding so well to what we were doing, giving them a new space to do it in with a priority,” Warren explains.
