The Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre season is nearly upon us and once again this national-class summer stock theater has lured some Broadway names into its casts. The first name is a familiar one around here: Ellen Travolta, who will play Mona in "Dames at Sea" (July 23-Aug. 2). Travolta is a veteran of Broadway, film and TV who lives in Coeur d'Alene and has appeared in many CdA Summer Theatre shows. The second is Steven Booth (pictured as "Pippin"), who had a lead role on Broadway last year in the short-lived musical "Glory Days," and who also appeared in "Avenue Q." Booth is a Coeur d'Alene product who honed his talents on the CdA Summer Theatre stage in "Pippin," "West Side Story" and "Oklahoma!" Booth will play the title role in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," which opens the theater's season on June 13 and runs through June 27/Jim Kershner, SR. More here.
