GLENS FALLS — Adirondack Theatre Festival announced its summer season featuring four shows to be staged at the Charles R. Wood Theater.
The 2022 Adirondack Theatre Festival season kicks off with The Chinese Lady, June 15 – 26 fresh from a sold-out run at NYC’s Public Theater. In a little-known true episode from the 19th century, a 14-year-old girl is brought from China to New York Harbor and put on display as the first Chinese woman in America. Her surreal journey takes her from Andrew Jackson’s Oval Office to P.T. Barnum’s circus tent to the harsh reality of the Chinese Exclusion Act. This haunting portrait allows us to gaze into a hidden past, as the past gazes back at us.
Upcoming: The Hobbit, July 6 – 17; Last Stop on Market Street, July 28 – 31; Mystic Pizza, Aug. 5 - 7
Subscriptions are $155 for adults and $95 for youth aged 18 and younger are available by phone 518-480-4878, or in person from 12 to 5 p.m. Tues.-Sat. at the Charles R. Wood Theater Box Office at 207 Glen St., or through atfestival.org.
