I once heard it said, “Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes.” This has become a mantra for me, a reminder that it’s time to let go—of fussy dinners, overscheduled weekdays and getting all your chores done. Summer’s the time for having fun.
Local theater companies evidently got that memo. From youthful fantasies under the stars to puppetry, carnival rides, roller skates, upbeat dance revues and more, there’s plenty of summer revelry to be had on local stages this summer.
