WaterTower Theatre artistic director Terry Martin today sent a letter to subscribers telling them that for the rest of the current season the company is cutting performances from four weeks to three (eliminating five of 22 performances per show). It is also substituting shows with smaller, less expensive casts for the final two shows of the season. The Glass Menagerie will substitute for the previously announced Our Town. No word yet what will take the place of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
WaterTower has been among the local theaters with an expanding audience in recent seasons. The current economic situation, Mr. Martin says, has cut into that audience. His letter says he's trying to be a good steward for an institution that has become a local leader over the decade of his tenure.
