Loretta Swit & David Engel to Star in SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS at Totem Pole Playhouse

Totem Pole Playhouse, Pennsylvania's premiere summer theatre, located in Caledonia State Park between Gettysburg and Chambersburg, PA, has announced a slate of two new plays and the return of two classic musicals for the theatre's 66th summer season, sponsored by the Franklin County Visitors Bureau.

Kicking off the subscription season will be Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks, a touching and human comedy with music and dance, which also addresses the serious issues of ageism and intolerance. Lily Harrison, a formidable retired woman, hires Michael Minetti, an acerbic dance instructor, to give her private lessons - one per week for six weeks. What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate friendship as these two people from very different backgrounds reveal their secrets, fears, and joys while dancing Swing, Tango, Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, and Contemporary Dance. Michael Bloom, former Artistic Director of the Cleveland Play House, the nation's first regional theatre, will direct the production which runs from May 27th through June 12th. The play contains adult themes and situations not suitable for audiences under the age of 16. M & T Bank and Ludwick Eye Center serve as sponsors of this show.

Those interested in subscribing to the season or purchasing tickets for single shows may do so either on line through Totem Pole's website at www.totempoleplayhouse.org or by calling the playhouse's box office Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at (717) 352-2164, ext 1.
