Bernard Slade News

Totem Pole's new romantic comedy, You Say Tomatoes is keeping the production crew at the playhouse very busy these days. This new play by Bernard Slade, author of Same Time, Next Year takes place in two different locations and requires two entirely different sets.

When picking a season for the Totem Pole Playhouse, Artistic Director, Ray Ficca, equates it to putting on a carnival that lasts the whole summer. 'I want our patrons to feel that there will always be something new, different, and exciting, on the next ride. Like moving from the carousel to the roller-coaster to the bumper cars, a theatrical season shouldn't just be a menagerie of plays, but a total experience.' With a collection of musicals, along with Broadway and Off-Broadway hits, variety and thrills abound at Totem Pole in 2009.
