Good evening, Salem.
One of Salem’s best kept secrets kicks off tonight – Theatre 33’s summer play season.
The annual festival stages pared-down productions and readings of brand new plays from Pacific Northwest playwrights. Want to see a haunting musical mystery set in Astoria? How about comedy-drama about caring for an aging parent with dementia?

Hailey Cook previewed this season for us earlier in the summer – read her summary here.
Tickets are donation-based, and you can browse the schedule or reserve them online here.
