Pre: Summer Reading for Theater Lovers 2018 by Jan Simpson @ Broadway&Me

Memorial Day came and went a month ago. The Summer Solstice breezed in last week. The Fourth of July is just a few days away. And temperatures here in New York are heading into the high 90s. So no matter what yardstick you use, summer is here. And that means it’s time for my annual summer reading list of books theater lovers can savor while at the beach, lazing in the park or, in my case, chilling on the terrace. To be honest, I’m more ambivalent about some of the books below than I have been about those in previous years but each still has its own charms and as my mother used to say, different strokes for different folks so I’m hoping you find at least a few that suit you.

Note: Peter is at the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska this week. He will return next week.
