PRINCETON SUMMER THEATER OPENS 2016 SEASON WITH “ASSASSINS” ON JUNE 16

Princeton Summer Theater’s 2016 season opens with

ASSASSINS
by Stephen Sondheim’s  
directed by Tatiana Pandiani
choreographed by Iñaki Baldassarre

The season continues with Yasmina Reza’s black comedy God of Carnage, Tom Stoppard’s tragicomedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and Sam Shepard’s drama Fool For Love.

This summer focuses on the theme of the “Other." Each of the four shows delves into the other side of a story or character and brings the audience to a deeper understanding of human nature. The theater goers will come away with a souvenir – a new perspective on what was once an old familiarity and an appreciation of the differences in all of us. 

WHEN: June 16-19 and 23-26, with shows at 8pm Thursday through Saturday, and 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
WHERE: Performances are at the Hamilton Murray Theater located on Princeton University’s campus.
TICKETS: $29.50 for general admission, $24.50 for students and matinees. We also offer season subscriptions for only $79 (a 30% discount!), which ensures a reserved seat for each of our four main stage shows this season.
