Summer Theatre of New Canaan’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Opens July 15 [Q&A]
|
The Summer Theatre of New Canaan’s 2023 season—marking the nonprofit organization’s 20th anniversary—is set to kick off next month with “Beauty and the Beast.” Shows will run July 15 to 30, at 7 p.m. Fridays through Sundays, with additional 2 p.m. matinees on Saturdays and Sundays. On Monday, we talked to Ed Libonati, Summer Theatre’s executive producer, about the upcoming season and other offerings from the organization.
Here’s a transcription of our interview:
New Canaanite: Ed, you guys have been here for so long that this may sound a little silly, but we do have new readers who are new to town. So briefly, before we get into what’s coming this season, could you give us some background on Summer Theatre?
Ed Libonati: Sure. Well, Summer Theatre is now celebrating our 20th anniversary. We started in 2004.
