“Salem Theatre Company has done so much to enrich the culture of its community and I wanted to contribute to that cause, “said Molly Gachignard, on break from the current tour of Wicked. “It was really important to me to showcase the outstanding talent we have right here on the North Shore. I feel fortunate that I’m able to combine the work that I do on the road with the wonderful people I grew up with, all in order to support an organization I really believe in.”
The evening will consist of mash-ups of popular show songs. Girls may sing songs usually performed by males and vise versa, typically slow tempo songs may get some caffeine. STC promises a fun evening which will be a fitting end to the season. Ticket price includes a post-show reception where members of the audience can meet and talk with the artists.
