PRINCETON SUMMER THEATER ANNOUNCES DELIGHTFUL SUMMER SEASON
Season Opens with the Hilarious Urinetown: The Musical June 18th
The Princeton Summer Theater 2009 season will run from June 18 – August 16 in the Hamilton Murray Theater on the beautiful Princeton University campus. This wonderful mainstage season will open with the multiple Tony Award-winning musical farce Urinetown, which runs for three weekends from June 18 – July 5. We will follow with three shows which run for two weekends each: Tennessee Williams’ classic, heartfelt, masterpiece The Glass Menagerie, which runs July 9 – 19; the riotous No Time For Comedy, which was adapted into a blockbuster film featuring Princeton’s own Jimmy Stewart, from July 23 – August 2; and funnyman Steve Martin’s The Underpants from August 6 – 16. Season subscriptions for mainstage shows give patrons four tickets which they may use however they wish, and all shows are family-friendly.
Princeton Summer Theater 2009 will also once again offer a series of Family Programming, including two children’s shows and a series of six weekly children’s workshops. The two children’s shows are East of the Sun and West of the Moon by Nancy Willard (July 2 – 4 and 9 – 11 at 11am) and Rumpelstiltskin by Mike Kenny (July 23 – 25 and July 30 – August 1 at 11am). All children’s shows are $6, and admission is free for children 3 years of age and younger. In the six children’s workshops (which run weekly beginning July 3), children age 7 – 12 will work closely with PST company members to explore various aspects of theater. Workshops run weekly on Fridays from 1 – 4pm, and cost $30 per workshop or $135 for the six-workshop series.
