OFFICIALLY Summer doesn't end until September 22 - the date of the Fall Equinox ... TRADITIONALLY Summer ends on September 7 - the Monday of Labor Day weekend ... but in actuality, with many schools starting back on August 27 - there are only 2 WEEKS left in this Summer season. So, if you're gonna' fit one last summertime excursion into the family calendar - time's a wastin' ... but there will be NO time wasted if you use your time to take in one of the current or upcoming live theatre productions here on the heart of the California Central Coast!

We've got beaches, shops, restaurants, wineries, and a wide variety of live theatre for every taste and budget - so why not come and experience this little corner of God's Creation some time during the next month? If it's your first visit - I practically guarantee you it won't be your last!

Like a ?shot heard around the world,? You Say Tomatoes by Bernard Slade, author of the Broadway smash Same Time, Next Year, opens at the Totem Pole Playhouse on June 16. Playhouse favorite Paris Peet and newcomer Caren Anton star in this hilarious romantic comedy about Giles St. James, a recluse British mystery writer and Libby Daniels, a punchy New York film producer. Giles' traditional British way of life is upended when Libby discovers his hidden home, aspiring to televise the mystery novels he wrote under a pen name. ?What I love about this play, apart fro the wonderful humor, is that the love story takes place between two folks who are not 20 some things-but more mature folks at a different point in their lives,? says Artistic Director, Ray Ficca. Long time friend of Ficca?s and former Producing Artistic Director, Carl Schurr, was recruited to direct the comedy. ?Bernard Slade has given new meaning to the expression: 'Opposites attract' and not only do they attract in You Say Tomatoes, they explode into a light-hearted and joyous evening of theatre,? says Schurr. Wil Love, Totem Pole's legendary funny man, and Jenna Sokolowski round out the cast of this sidesplitting war of words. You Say Tomatoes is sponsored by The Orchards Restaurant, Chambersburg.
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.
