Summer Theatre at Salem, the professional troupe in residence at Salem State College announces its 16th season, opening June 17 with Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor, and continuing in July with Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods. Artistic Director David Allen George will share the stage with summer favorite Peter Zachari for the first time in their 20-year working relationship. They began as student and professor in the late 80’s, and each has directed the other. This summer, in Lend Me a Tenor, George plays a panicked producer whose star tenor (Zachari) is unable to perform just hours before curtain call. (Directed by Peter Sampieri.) The side-splitting farce is also currently on Broadway, starring Tony Shaloub, but the high quality professional performance in Salem has tickets available for just $20-$25.
The season continues July 8-18 with Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods, directed by Zachari. The cast and crew of Summer Theatre at Salem is comprised of Salem State alumni who work in the theatre industry, regional professionals, and select students who in many cases are having their first professional theatre experience.
