| My senior friend Peggy loves to drive to see far-flung shows and thinks the Times did not have their long list of summer shows this year that they used to have once every year. Do u think they didn't have it, or is there another listing somewhere? Thank you for any suggestions. I googled but couldn't find a Times listing. | |

| This won't be terribly helpful to Peggy, but I get very nostalgic for that annual issue of the Section 2 of the Sunday Times where summer theatre schedules were published. As a kid I used to pour over them in anticipation of my family's summer vacation in Maine. I never got beyond the (wonderful) Ogunquit Playhouse but it was fascinating to see the breadth of offerings right across the country. One would think that there was a market for a website that collated what remaining summer theatres exist. I would think it would be worth it for each theatre to support it since there are probably more than a few people like Peggy who are ripe to be wooed to get in the car and head to a theatre they've never visited. I guess the theatres that are still offering summer seasons in the northeast are: Ogunquit Playhouse (Maine) Cape Playhouse (Massachusetts) REV Theatre (Upstate NY) Berkshire Theatre (Massachusetts) Barrington Stage (Massachusetts) Weston Theatre (Vermont) and maybe most interesting all in Southern Ontario: Stratford Festival Shaw Festival Drayton Entertainment (five theatres) Blyth Festival Thousand Islands Playhouse. |

| Friend Peggy frequently drives to the Stratford & Shaw Festivals. She has driven us to Goodspeed a number of times too, all but 1 of my trips there have been with her. btw there is a New Jersey Theater Alliance website that lists/links to many NJ theaters, I read to her over the phone the shows listed there (she doesn't have internet). Thank you again! |
