Princeton Summer Theater returns for its 45th Season with a strong line-up of four diverse, challenging plays, from Golden Age musical theater to contemporary drama. A full-time company of six actors, all current Princeton students or '13 graduates, fearlessly prepares to tackle this incredible range of roles and styles. PST introduces the remarkable young talents who will take the Hamilton Murray stage this summer.
A host of Broadway talent as well as several film and television stars will be appearing on the Dorset Theatre Festival stage this summer. Tim Daly, well known for his work on Wings (NBC) and Private Practice (ABC) will headline in the first production of the season, Theresa Rebeck's The Scene. Joining him will be Geoffrey Arend (ABC's Body of Proof) and well-known NY stage actress Mary Bacon (most recently seen in the Michael John LaChiusa/Sybille Pearson musical Giant as well as on Bway in Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll). They will be joined by newcomer Carolyn Holding (The Philadelphia Story/Chautauqua). Adrienne Campbell-Holt will direct the production.
Princeton Summer Theater will present its fourth and final production of the 2012 season, Richard Greenberg's drama THE AMERICAN PLAN. With what's being described as 'masterful direction by PST Artistic Director Daniel Rattner, and a pitch-perfect cast that features all five members of the 2012 Company, this nostalgic and thought-provoking play ends PST's season on a beautiful note.'
